[jira] [Commented] (CSV-166) Read CSV file column by column

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CSV-166?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15718672#comment-15718672 ] 

Gary Gregory commented on CSV-166:
----------------------------------

Like the user reports, this is a gold-plating feature. It would a little less memory since each record only has the requested values. Yes, of course, you have to stream the whole thing. We could stream faster maybe if the columns are fixed size. But we do not have an allowance for that... another feature ;-)

> It would be nice if the library enables reading the CSV files in a column per column basis. Here's a very popular StackOverflow thread were the issue is discussed:
