Hi Praveen, The basic requirements for releasing a Spark package on spark-packages.org are as follows:
1. The package content must be hosted by GitHub in a public repo under the owner's account. 2. The repo name must match the package name. 3. The master branch of the repo must contain "README.md" and "LICENSE". Per the doc on spark-packages.org site an example package that meets those requirements can be found at https://github.com/databricks/spark-avro. My own recently released SAMBA package also meets these requirements: https://github.com/onetapbeyond/lambda-spark-executor. As you can see there is nothing in this list of requirements that demands the implementation of specific interfaces. What you'll need to implement will depend entirely on what you want to accomplish. If you want to register a release for your package you will also need to push the artifacts for your package to Maven central.
