Hi everyone, I would like to start a discussion on “Python Data Source API”.
This proposal aims to introduce a simple API in Python for Data Sources. The idea is to enable Python developers to create data sources without having to learn Scala or deal with the complexities of the current data source APIs. The goal is to make a Python-based API that is simple and easy to use, thus making Spark more accessible to the wider Python developer community. This proposed approach is based on the recently introduced Python user-defined table functions with extensions to support data sources. *SPIP Doc*: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oYrCKEKHzznljYfJO4kx5K_Npcgt1Slyfph3NEk7JRU/edit?usp=sharing *SPIP JIRA*: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-44076 Looking forward to your feedback. Thanks, Allison
