+A custom data source to read and write data from and to remote HDFS
clusters using the
[WebHDFS](https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r2.7.3/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-hdfs/WebHDFS.html)
protocol.
+
+## Linking
+
+Using SBT:
+
+```scala
+libraryDependencies += "org.apache.bahir" %% "spark-datasource-webhdfs" %
"2.1.0-SNAPSHOT"
+```
+
+Using Maven:
+
+```xml
+<dependency>
+ <groupId>org.apache.bahir</groupId>
+ <artifactId>spark-datasource-webhdfs_2.11</artifactId>
+ <version>2.1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
+</dependency>
+```
+
+This library can also be added to Spark jobs launched through
`spark-shell` or `spark-submit` by using the `--packages` command line option.
+For example, to include it when starting the spark shell:
+
+ $ bin/spark-shell --packages
org.apache.bahir:spark-datasource-webhdfs_2.11:2.1.0-SNAPSHOT
+
+Unlike using `--jars`, using `--packages` ensures that this library and
its dependencies will be added to the classpath.
+The `--packages` argument can also be used with `bin/spark-submit`.
+
+This library is compiled for Scala 2.11 only, and intends to support Spark
2.0 onwards.
