> Spark cannot currently read CSV files packaged inside tar archives (.tar, 
> .tar.gz, .tgz); users must unpack them externally first.
> This adds opt-in support (spark.sql.files.archive.reader.enabled, default 
> false) for reading such archives through the CSV data source by streaming 
> each entry through the CSV parser, without materializing entries to local 
> disk:
>  * A streaming ArchiveReader opens the tar once and yields one bounded 
> InputStream per entry, advancing lazily so memory stays bounded regardless of 
> archive size. Directories are skipped, along with any entry Spark's own file 
> listing would filter out    — dot- and underscore-prefixed names (e.g. .{_}x, 
> .DS_Store, _SUCCESS, _committed{_}*) and anything under a dot-/underscore- 
> prefixed directory (e.g. a leftover _temporary/) — applied per path 
> component, so an archive parses like a directory of the same files. .tar.gz 
> is decompressed via Hadoop's codec factory; .tgz is gunzipped explicitly. 
> ArchiveReader is an abstract base (TarArchiveReader is the only 
> implementation today), so other archive formats can be added as additive 
> subclasses.
>  * CSVFileFormat treats archives as non-splittable (one split per archive) 
> and streams each entry through UnivocityParser, handling each entry as a 
> standalone CSV file (headers, multiLine, delimiters, column pruning).
> Scope: CSV reads over tar only. Schema inference from archives, and other 
> file formats (e.g. JSON, text, XML), are left to follow-ups. Streaming 
> supports formats parseable sequentially; formats needing random access 
> (Parquet/ORC footers) cannot stream from a tar and are out of scope.
