Prompt:
What does this code do?
```python
class CsvOptions(PipelineOptions):
    @classmethod
    def _add_argparse_args(cls, parser):
        parser.add_argument(
            '--file_path',
            default="gs://your-bucket/your-file.csv",
            help='Csv file path'
        )


options = CsvOptions()

with beam.Pipeline(options=options) as p:
    output = (p | "Read from Csv file" >> ReadFromCsv(path=options.file_path)
    | "Log Data" >> Map(logging.info))

```
Response:
This code reads data from a [CSV file](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma-separated_values) using the `ReadFromCsv` transform from the built-in [TextIO connector](https://beam.apache.org/releases/pydoc/current/apache_beam.io.textio.html).

```python
class CsvOptions(PipelineOptions):
    @classmethod
    def _add_argparse_args(cls, parser):
        parser.add_argument(
            '--file_path',
            default="gs://your-bucket/your-file.csv",
            help='Csv file path'
        )

options = CsvOptions()
```

The `CsvOptions` class defines the command-line argument `--file_path`, which specifies the path to the CSV file. To parse command-line arguments, this code uses [pipeline options](https://beam.apache.org/documentation/patterns/pipeline-options/).

```python
with beam.Pipeline(options=options) as p:
    output = (p | "Read from Csv file" >> ReadFromCsv(path=options.file_path)
    | "Log Data" >> Map(logging.info))
```

The Apache Beam pipeline uses the `CsvOptions` class to set the CSV file path and the [ReadFromCsv transform](https://beam.apache.org/releases/pydoc/current/apache_beam.io.textio.html#apache_beam.io.textio.ReadFromCsv) to read data from the file.
