>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-37980
>             Project: Spark
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: SQL
>    Affects Versions: 3.3.0
>            Reporter: Prakhar Jain
>            Priority: Major
>
> Spark recently added hidden metadata column support for File based datasources as part of  SPARK-37273.
> We should extend it to support ROW_INDEX/ROW_POSITION also.
>  
> Meaning of  ROW_POSITION:
> ROW_INDEX/ROW_POSITION is basically an index of a row within a file. E.g. 5th row in the file will have ROW_INDEX 5.
>  
> Use cases: 
> Row Indexes can be used in a variety of ways. A (fileName, rowIndex) tuple uniquely identifies row in a table. This information can be used to mark rows e.g. this can be used by indexer etc.
