Kengo Seki commented on PARQUET-1598:
-------------------------------------
Also, if the input filename starts with '.', convert-csv fails with the
following error:
{code}
Unknown error

> Improve error message when convert-csv fails due to an invalid input file name

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: parquet-cli
> Reporter: Kengo Seki
> Priority: Major
>
> I ran parquet-cli's {{convert-csv}} with an input file which name starts with
> a numeric character without {{--schema}} option and got the following error:
> {code}
> $ java -cp 'target/*:target/dependency/*' org.apache.parquet.cli.Main
> convert-csv 0sample.csv -o sample.parquet
> Unknown error
> shaded.parquet.org.apache.avro.SchemaParseException: Illegal initial
> character: 0sample

> {code}
> This is because that {{convert-csv}} uses the input file name as the name for
> the output schema, while Avro requires its schema name to match the regex
> pattern {{[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_]*}}.
> So users have to change the input file name or use the {{--schema}} option
> explicitly, but it's not so obvious from the error message.
> It'd be nice if the message were improved, or the schema name were
> automatically replaced with valid characters to avoid this problem.
