Hi, in GeoServer master branch, while adding the importer extension, we also get as a side effect the CSV data store, which starts showing up in the "new datastore" page.
There is one first gotcha, which is, the datastore was completely unusable until https://github.com/geotools/geotools/pull/861 got merged (just did), but even with that one, it's still pretty hard to use since the datastore config panel is not exactly providing useful hints on how to configure them. It's also undocumented. I think it would be a good win to make a config panel for it, CSV sources are relatively common anyways, and sometimes people just don't want to load them into a more efficient storage engine. But then.. where to put it? Its own extension module? Or directly in core maybe? Telling people "ah yes, if you want the CSV datastore, just install the importer extension" does not sound exactly great to me Cheers Andrea -- == GeoServer Professional Services from the experts!
