             Summary: Data source API v2
                 Key: SPARK-15689
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-15689
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: SQL
            Reporter: Reynold Xin


This ticket tracks progress in creating the v2 of data source API. This new API should focus on:

1. Have a small surface so it is easy to freeze and maintain compatibility for a long time. Ideally, this API should survive architectural rewrites and user-facing API revamps of Spark.

2. Have a well-defined column batch interface for high performance. Convenience methods should exist to convert row-oriented formats into column batches for data source developers.

3. Still support filter push down, similar to the existing API.


Note that both 1 and 2 are problems that the current data source API (v1) suffers. The current data source API has a wide surface with dependency on DataFrame/SQLContext, making the data source API compatibility depending on the upper level API. The current data source API is also only row oriented and has to go through an expensive external data type conversion to internal data type.
