A comma-separated values (CSV) file is a delimited text file that uses a comma to separate values. Each line of the file is a data record. Each record consists of one or more fields, separated by commas.
Load csv data with a single row per document.

Specify a column to identify the document source
Use the source_column argument to specify a source for the document
created from each row. Otherwise file_path will be used as the source
for all documents created from the CSV file.
This is useful when using documents loaded from CSV files for chains that answer questions using sources.

UnstructuredCSVLoader
You can also load the table using the UnstructuredCSVLoader. One
advantage of using UnstructuredCSVLoader is that if you use it in
"elements" mode, an HTML representation of the table will be available
in the metadata.
