CSVParser.getRecords() contract is confusing
--------------------------------------------
Key: CSV-57
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CSV-57
Project: Commons CSV
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Parser
Reporter: Benedikt Ritter
Priority: Minor
{{CSVParser.getRecords()}} has a confusing contract. It will return all records
from the current position instead of all values in the parsed file. This
implies that users will first iterate over the records using the iterator and
then call getRecords(). This seems like an unlikely use case.
Also, it is not good practice to return {{null}}. So getRecords() should return
an empty array, if no records can be found.
