Reading csv files with quoted fields containing embedded commas
<p>I am reading a csv file in Pyspark as follows:</p>

<pre><code>df_raw=spark.read.option("header","true").csv(csv_path)
</code></pre>

<p>However, the data file has quoted fields with embedded commas in them which 
should not be treated as commas. How can I handle this in Pyspark ? I know pandas can handle this, but can Spark ? The version I am using is Spark 2.0.0.</p>

<p>Here is an example which works in Pandas but fails using Spark:</p>

<pre><code>In [1]: import pandas as pd

In [2]: pdf = pd.read_csv('malformed_data.csv')

In [3]: sdf=spark.read.format("org.apache.spark.csv").csv('malformed_data.csv',header=True)

In [4]: pdf[['col12','col13','col14']]
Out[4]:
                    col12                                             col13  \

   col14
0   23.0
1    0.0

In [5]: sdf.select("col12","col13",'col14').show()
