Review Comment:
   Yes, we should have a registration mechanism like we do in Scala 
https://github.com/databricks/spark-xml/blob/master/src/main/resources/META-INF/services/org.apache.spark.sql.sources.DataSourceRegister.
 
   
   Can we investigate how other Python libraries do? One way is using INI file 
like https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/specifications/entry-points/
