> 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.
