+1 I think it's useful to always have a pure SQL way and skip header for plain text / csv that lots of companies have.

There is an old SPARK issue, SPARK-11374, about removing header lines from text file. Currently, Spark supports removing CSV header lines by the following way. ``` scala> spark.read.option("header","true").csv("/data").show +---+---+ | c1| c2| +---+---+ | 1| a| | 2| b| +---+---+ ``` In SQL world, we can support that like the Hive way, `skip.header.line.count`. ``` scala> sql("CREATE TABLE t1 (id INT, value VARCHAR(10)) ROW FORMAT DELIMITED FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' STORED AS TEXTFILE LOCATION '/data' TBLPROPERTIES('skip.header.line.count'='1')") scala> sql("SELECT * FROM t1").show +---+-----+ | id|value| +---+-----+ | 1| a| | 2| b| +---+-----+ ``` Although I made a PR for this based on the JIRA issue, I want to know this is really needed feature. Is it need for your use cases? Or, it's enough for you to remove them in a preprocessing stage. If this is too old and not proper in these days, I'll close the PR and JIRA issue as WON'T FIX. Thank you for all in advance!
