[jira] [Commented] (SPARK-18579) spark-csv strips whitespace (pyspark)

["Hyukjin Kwon (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-18579?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15839704#comment-15839704 ] 

Hyukjin Kwon commented on SPARK-18579:
--------------------------------------

Can we just strip them within the dataframe/dataset? Available options for read/write are well documented. IMHO, we should not just add options/APIs just for consistency.

> ignoreLeadingWhiteSpace and ignoreTrailingWhiteSpace are supported on CSV reader (and defaults to false).
> However these are not supported options on the CSV writer and so the library defaults take place which strips the whitespace.
> I think it would make the most sense if the writer semantics matched the reader (and did not alter the data) however this would be a change in behaviour.  In any case it'd be great to have the _option_ to strip or not.
