Speculative Distributed CSV Data Parsing for Big Data Analytics

Summary: Speculative distributed CSV parsing aligns field/record boundaries across chunks without context to enable parallel parsing. Robust syntax-error detection; Spark tests on 11k real-world datasets show substantial performance gains over prior parsers. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
