+### Description
+
+The `TRANSFORM` clause is used to specifies a Hive-style transform (SELECT TRANSFORM/MAP/REDUCE)
+query specification to transform the input by forking and running the specified script. Users can
+plug in their own custom mappers and reducers in the data stream by using features natively supported
+in the Spark/Hive language. e.g. in order to run a custom mapper script `map_script` and a custom
+reducer script `reduce_script` the user can issue the following command which uses the TRANSFORM
+clause to embed the mapper and the reducer scripts.
+
+Currently, Spark's script transform support two mode:
+
+    1. Without Hive: It means spark run Spark SQL without Hive support, in this mode, spark can use default 
+       `ROW FORMAT DELIMITED` by treating data as STRING.

Review comment:
       This part is related to only to master?  I think branch-3.1/branch-3.0 does not have spark-native transform.
