Hello Charles, Support for parsing/skipping headers in CSV files is not available at present, but is coming soon. You can watch DRILL-951 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-951> / DRILL-1440 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-1440> for updates.
And regarding your second question, are you talking about Text files, but with custom delimiters (which is supported), or custom data formats (other than Text, Parquet, JSON, ...). If the latter, can you please clarify further?
