> this piece of code makes the CSV (or any text files with header/footer) files
> not splittable if header or footer is present.
> If only header is present, we can find the offset after first line break and
> use that to split. Similarly for footer, may be read few KB's of data at the
> end and find the last line break offset. Use that to determine the data range
> which can be used for splitting. Few reads during split generation are
> cheaper than not splitting the file at all.
