Thanks for fixing this! Reading the file as a stream was not "accidental" but on purpose to reduce the memory footprint. We should check the best trade-off to solve the issue of multiple readings while keeping the possibility of processing iteratively the CSV (e.g., large CSV where I need to access only one column). Maybe we can have a CSVStreamReader and CSVReader or something similar? |

@AuPath I pushed an attempt to introduce CSVStreamReader and refactor duplicated operations in CSVReaderAbstract. Please review the latest commit |

The behaviour is now to read the whole CSV file (or String) into a
List<NamedCsvRecord>and not in a stream as was previously (accidentaly) the case. While this does work and means that #38 is corrected this also means that the whole file is always kept in memory.This does not necessarily make sense as i might have a huge CSV file where i am interested in a single column that i can obtain with the
getDataframe(String... columns)method. While the created dataframe is small i still have the whole file in memory, even if no other dataframe with more than that column is ever created.We should discuss possible optimizations for this scenario.
