CSV
===

> A [comma-separated values (CSV)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma-separated_values) file is a delimited text file that uses a comma to separate values. Each line of the file is a data record. Each record consists of one or more fields, separated by commas.

Load CSV data with a single row per document.
