Custom delimiter csv reader spark

Question

I would like to read in a file with the following structure with Apache Spark.

628344092\\t20070220\\t200702\\t2007\\t2007.1370

The delimiter

Answer 1

Use spark.read.option("delimiter", "\t").csv(file) or sep instead of delimiter.

If it's literally \t, not tab special character, use double \: spark.read.option("delimiter", "\\t").csv(file)
