> Spark can load multiple CSV files in one read:
> df = spark.read.format("csv").option("header", "true").option("inferSchema", "true").load("/*.csv")
> However, if one of these files is empty (though it has a header), Spark will set all column types to "String"
> Spark should skip a file for inference if it contains no (non-header) rows
