Max Michels commented on FLINK-1318:
------------------------------------

We had this issue reported on the user mailing list as well. The changes would make CSV input much more flexible.

> With the current implementation of the CSVInputFormat, quoted string parsing kicks in, if the first non-whitespace character of a field is a double quote. 
> I see two issues with this implementation:
> 1. Quoted String parsing cannot be disabled
> 2. The quoting character is fixed to double quotes (")
> I propose to add parameters to disable quoted String parsing and set the quote character.
