Reynold Xin created SPARK-18352: ----------------------------------- 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org
