The CSV File Input transform reads data from a delimited file. You can choose
to use a xref:metadata-types/static-schema-definition.adoc[Schema Definition]

The CSV label for this transform is a misnomer because you can define whatever
separator you want to use, such as pipes, tabs, and semicolons; you are not
constrained to using commas.
Internal processing allows this transform to process data quickly.
Options for this transform are a subset of the Text File Input transform.
