------------------------------------
Summary: Add support for custom CSV field parsers
Key: FLINK-2435
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-2435
Project: Flink
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Java API, Scala API
Affects Versions: 0.10
Reporter: Fabian Hueske
The {{CSVInputFormats}} have only {{FieldParsers}} for Java's primitive types
(byte, short, int, long, float, double, boolean, String).
It would be good to add support for CSV field parsers for custom data types
which can be registered in a {{CSVReader}}.
We could offer two interfaces for field parsers.
1. The regular low-level {{FieldParser}} which operates on a byte array and
offsets.
2. A {{StringFieldParser}} which operates on a String that has been extracted
by a {{StringParser}} before. This interface will be easier to implement but
less efficient.
