-------------------------------------
Summary: Add aliasing to data sources to allow external packages
to register themselves with Spark
Key: SPARK-9486
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-9486
Project: Spark
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: SQL
Reporter: Joseph Batchik
Priority: Minor
Currently Spark allows users to use external data sources like spark-avro,
spark-csv, etc by having them specifying their full class name:
{code:java}
sqlContext.read.format("com.databricks.spark.avro").load(path)
{code}
Typing in a full class is not the best idea so it would be nice to allow the
external packages to be able to register themselves with Spark to allow users
to do something like:
{code:java}
sqlContext.read.format("avro").load(path)
{code}
This would make it so that the external data source packages follow the same
convention as the built in data sources do, parquet, json, jdbc, etc.
This could be accomplished by using a ServiceLoader.
