Description

User can specify `rowTag` option that is the name of the XML element that maps to a `DataFrame Row`.  A non-existent `rowTag` will not infer any schema or generate any `DataFrame` rows. Currently, not specifying `rowTag` option results in picking up its default value of  `ROW`. This results in an empty dataframe and confuse new users. Creating a Jira task to make this a required option.
