Data prep CSV parsing error needs to be more user friendly

Description

As a user, I want to be supported by the system. When I make an error, or there is a problem, I want to be informed in a way that is understandable and actionable.
Currently, when I try to parse a CSV file, and the directive is unsuccessful because of problems with the file, the following message is displayed.

Please change the message to:
CDAP is unable to correctly parse because of problems with <name of file>. Please check your data for inconsistencies and try again.

We can't add the line name or modify the message that comes back from the parsing library, but the exception name should be removed from the message.

It should be the big-grant-2012.csv data I uploaded.

Does anyone happen to have the file that caused this error?

I don't add it.

e.getMessage

adds it. For error message I would have to check the test meaning do a string compare and change it. Would really really not recommend to do it. We need to have error codes for this to work correctly.

The only thing I would add to that message is a call to action to hint the user on what to do next: "check your data and try uploading again"
