Brandon Inman commented on CRUNCH-414:
--------------------------------------
Instead of a threshold, could you use endOfFile?
Psuedocode-
{code}
} while (currentlyInQuotes && !endOfFile);
if(endOfFile && currentlyInQuotes) {
throw new IOException("File ended inside of an escaped region");
}
{code}

> Brandon Inman recently reported an undesriable behavior in the CSV file
> source group of files. Currently, the CSVLineReader, if reading a malformed
> CSV file, can enter a state where it is perpetually waiting for an end-quote
> character. As he put it, "Malformed files are malformed files and should
> probably fail in some regard, but a hang is obviously undesirable."
> Essentially, the CSVLineReader needs to be tweaked in such a way that an
> informative exception is thrown after some threshold is reached, instead of
> basically just hanging.
