When reading a text file, each line becomes each row that has string "value" column by default. The line separator can be changed as shown in the example below. The `option()` function can be used to customize the behavior of reading or writing, such as controlling behavior of the line separator, compression, and so on. Review comment: I am not sure this sounds ok "each line becomes each row". @srowen WDYT? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
