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

Johannes created FLINK-1223:
-------------------------------

             Summary: Allow value escaping in CSV files
                 Key: FLINK-1223
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-1223
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Java API, Scala API
    Affects Versions: 0.8-incubating
            Reporter: Johannes
            Priority: Minor


The CSV Parser currently does not interpret escaped values

The example from here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma-separated_values#Example

{code}
Year,Make,Model,Description,Price
1997,Ford,E350,"ac, abs, moon",3000.00
1999,Chevy,"Venture ""Extended Edition""","",4900.00
{code}

Does not work currently.

Here escaping inside the string field generates an error.

For reference 

An interesting post about the fallacies that could be encountered when parsing CSV files.
