Description
Creating external datasets from CSV files should be able to infer the attribute names from the file header if present and sample records for the data type. For example, in the create statement there could be an "infer" flag that takes in the number of records to scan like the below statement.
CREATE EXTERNAL DATASET Employee() USING localfs (("path"="localhost:///employees.csv"), ("format"="delimited-text"), ("delimiter"=","), ("header"=true), ("infer"=10))
