Details

You can read data from HDFS (hdfs://), S3 (s3n://), as well as the local file system (file://).

If you are reading from a secure S3 bucket be sure that the AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY environment variables are both defined.

When header is FALSE, the column names are generated with a V prefix; e.g. V1, V2, ....
