23. A CSV Reader
Sooner or later, in your day-to-day work you’ll need to read a comma-separated value (CSV) file and perform an operation on the result. To make it even more interesting, we’re going to do this exercise with four million rows.
In this recipe we’ll write a large CSV to a file, and then read it in Clojure in a way that bypasses the performance overhead of the Clojure reader.
Assumptions
