-----------------------------------

             Summary: Parse normal JSON files (not just JSON Lines)
                 Key: SPARK-18352
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-18352
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: SQL
            Reporter: Reynold Xin


Spark currently can only parse JSON files that are JSON lines, i.e. each record 
has an entire line and records are separated by new line. In reality, a lot of 
users want to use Spark to parse actual JSON files, and are surprised to learn 
that it doesn't do that.

We can introduce a new mode (wholeJsonFile?) in which we don't split the files, 
and rather stream through them to parse the JSON files.
