Description

In LUCENE-3930 we're implementing some less than ideal solutions to make available the unreleased version of commons-csv. We could remove these solutions if we didn't rely on this lib. So I think we should explore alternatives.

I think opencsv is an alternative to consider, I've used it in many commercial projects. Bizarrely Commons-CSV's website says that Opencsv uses a BSD license, but this isn't the case, OpenCSV uses ASL2.
