The CSV package has an option in CSV.File() to skip parsing lines at the end of a file, called “footerskip”. The loadtable function in JuliaDB has a keyword argument to skip rows at the beginning of a file (skiplines\_begin) but not the end. Is there some way to parse files this way without modifying them all be removing the last line before calling loadtable on them? I’m interested in loading a group of files into a distributed table at once.
