> this piece of code makes the CSV (or any text files with header/footer) files not splittable if header or footer is present. 
> If only header is present, we can find the offset after first line break and use that to split. Similarly for footer, may be read few KB's of data at the end and find the last line break offset. Use that to determine the data range which can be used for splitting. Few reads during split generation are cheaper than not splitting the file at all.
