Romain Manni-Bucau commented on CSV-164:
----------------------------------------
If you see the header as a key to access the entries the key is actually the
position.
I know CSVRecord.get("header") would suffer from it.
My proposal is:
- keep current logic *by default*
- keep track of duplicated records if a flag is set
(supportsDuplicatedHeaders?) - note: can log a warning
- if CSVRecord.get(aDuplicatedHeader) is called then throw an exception
Allows to use CSVRecord.get(index) without issues
wdyt?
> support duplicate headers

> nothing prevents a CSV to have the same time the same header name so
> validation at the end of org.apache.commons.csv.CSVFormat#validate should
> likely disappear or should support a flag to disable it
