             Summary: csv reader should allow newlines inside quotes 
                 Key: DRILL-3178
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-3178
             Project: Apache Drill
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.0.0
         Environment: Ubuntu Trusty 14.04.2 LTS

            Reporter: Neal McBurnett


When reading a csv file which contains newlines within quoted strings, e.g. via

    select * from dfs.`/tmp/q.csv`;

Drill 1.0 says:

    Error: SYSTEM ERROR: com.univocity.parsers.common.TextParsingException:  Error processing input: Cannot use newline character within quoted string

But many tools produce csv files with newlines in quoted strings.  Drill should be able to handle them.

Workaround: the csvquote program (https://github.com/dbro/csvquote) can encode embedded commas and newlines, and even decode them later if desired.
