> Need to add new function - *schema_of_csv()*. The function should infer schema of CSV string literal. The result of the function is a schema in DDL format.
> One of the use cases is passing output of _schema_of_csv()_ to *from_csv()* (see SPARK-25393). The new function should allow schema inferring from an example. Let's say csv_col is a column containing CSV string with the same schema. It should be possible to pass a CSV string with the same schema to _schema_of_csv()_ which infers schema for the particular example.
> {code:sql}
> select from_csv(csv_col, schema_of_csv('1,a,0.1'))
> from csv_table;
> {code}
