Version

master (2.0.x). The affected code is also present in released 2.0.x versions.

Describe the bug and provide the minimal reproduce step

AbstractDataTool.readCsvFile(String) builds a CSVParser over new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(path)) and returns it. The CSVParser owns that FileInputStream, but the CLI import code paths that call it never close the returned parser — it is assigned to a local inside a plain try { ... } block (no try-with-resources, no finally). Every imported file therefore leaks its file descriptor, and the early returns for an empty file or an invalid header leak it immediately, because the parser is opened before those checks run.

Affected call sites (current master, also present in released 2.0.x):

  • iotdb-client/cli/src/main/java/org/apache/iotdb/tool/data/ImportData.javaimportFromSingleFile
  • iotdb-client/cli/src/main/java/org/apache/iotdb/tool/data/ImportDataTree.javaimportFromCsvFile
  • iotdb-client/cli/src/main/java/org/apache/iotdb/tool/data/ImportDataTable.javaimportFromCsvFile
  • iotdb-client/cli/src/main/java/org/apache/iotdb/tool/schema/ImportSchemaTree.javaimportSchemaFromCsvFile (this class has its own copy of readCsvFile)

Minimal reproduce step:

  1. Create a directory containing a large number of small CSV files — more than the process open-file limit (for example a few thousand files under ulimit -n 1024).
  2. Run the CLI data import over that directory.
  3. The import fails partway through with Too many open files. (A single import already leaks one descriptor; it is simply not fatal until enough accumulate.)

What did you expect to see?

Each CSVParser (and the FileInputStream it wraps) is closed after the file is processed, on every exit path — including the empty-file / invalid-header early returns. Importing a large directory of CSV files should not exhaust the process's file descriptors.

What did you see instead?

The CSVParser returned by readCsvFile is never closed, so its underlying FileInputStream stays open. Importing a directory with enough CSV files leaks descriptors until the import fails with Too many open files.

Anything else?

The record Stream is fully consumed inside the same block before the method returns, so consuming each parser in a try-with-resources (closing it on scope exit) is safe.
