+### 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 we run Spark SQL without hive support, in this mode, we can use default format 
+       by treating data as STRING and use Spark's own SerDe.
+    2. WIth Hive: It means we run Spark SQL with Hive support, in this mode, when we use default format, 
+       it will be treated as Hive default fomat. And we can use Hive supported SerDe to process data.
+
+In both mode with default format, columns will be transformed to STRING and delimited by TAB before feeding
+to the user script, Similarly, all NULL values will be converted to the literal string \N in order to
+differentiate NULL values from empty strings. The standard output of the user script will be treated as
+TAB-separated STRING columns, any cell containing only \N will be re-interpreted as a NULL, and then the
+resulting STRING column will be cast to the data type specified in the table declaration in the usual way.
+User scripts can output debug information to standard error which will be shown on the task detail page on hadoop.
+These defaults can be overridden with `ROW FORMAT DELIMITED`.
+
+### Syntax
+
+```sql
+rowFormat
+    : ROW FORMAT SERDE serde_class [ WITH SERDEPROPERTIES serde_props ]
+    | ROW FORMAT DELIMITED
+       [ FIELDS TERMINATED BY fields_terminated_char [ ESCAPED BY escapedBy ] ]
+       [ COLLECTION ITEMS TERMINATED BY collectionItemsTerminatedBy ]
+       [ MAP KEYS TERMINATED BY keysTerminatedBy ]
+       [ LINES TERMINATED BY linesSeparatedBy ]
+       [ NULL DEFINED AS nullDefinedAs ]  
+
+inRowFormat=rowFormat
+outRowFormat=rowFormat
+namedExpressionSeq = named_expression [ , ... ]
+
+transformClause:
+  SELECT [ TRANSFORM ( namedExpressionSeq ) | MAP namedExpressionSeq | REDUCE namedExpressionSeq ]
+    [ inRowFormat ]
+    [ RECORDWRITER recordWriter_class ]
+    USING script
+    [ AS ( [ col_name [ col_type ]] [ , ... ] ) ]
+    [ outRowFormat ]
+    [ RECORDREADER recordReader_class ]
+  [ WHERE boolean_expression  ]
+  [ GROUP BY expression [ , ... ] ]
+  [ HAVING boolean_expression ]
+```
+
+### Parameters
+
+* **named_expression**
+
+    An expression with an assigned name. In general, it denotes a column expression.
+
+    **Syntax:** `expression [AS] [alias]`
+
+* **row_format**    
+
+    Use the `SERDE` clause to specify a custom SerDe for one table. Otherwise, use the `DELIMITED` clause to use the native SerDe and specify the delimiter, escape character, null character and so on.
+
+* **SERDE**
+
+    Specifies a custom SerDe for one table.
+
+* **serde_class**
+
+    Specifies a fully-qualified class name of a custom SerDe.
+
+* **SERDEPROPERTIES**
+
+    A list of key-value pairs that is used to tag the SerDe definition.
+
+* **DELIMITED**
+
+    The `DELIMITED` clause can be used to specify the native SerDe and state the delimiter, escape character, null character and so on.
+    
+* **FIELDS TERMINATED BY**
+
+    Used to define a column separator.
+    
+* **COLLECTION ITEMS TERMINATED BY**
+
+    Used to define a collection item separator.
+   
+* **MAP KEYS TERMINATED BY**
+
+    Used to define a map key separator.
+    
+* **LINES TERMINATED BY**
+
+    Used to define a row separator.
+    
+* **NULL DEFINED AS**
+
+    Used to define the specific value for NULL.
+    
+* **ESCAPED BY**
+
+    Used for escape mechanism.
+
+* **RECORDREADER**
+
+    Specifies a custom RecordReader for one table.
+
+* **RECORDWRITER**
+
+    Specifies a custom RecordWriter for one table.
+
+* **recordReader_class**
+
+    Specifies a fully-qualified class name of a custom RecordReader. 
+    Default value is `org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.TextRecordReader`
+
+* **recordWriter_class**
+
+    Specifies a fully-qualified class name of a custom RecordWriter. 
+    Default value is `org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.TextRecordWriter`.
+
+* **script**
+
+    Specify a command to process data.
+
+* **boolean_expression**
+
+    Specifies any expression that evaluates to a result type `boolean`. Two or
+    more expressions may be combined together using the logical
+    operators ( `AND`, `OR` ).
+
+* **expression**
+
+    Specifies combination of one or more values, operators and SQL functions that results in a value.
+
+### Without Hive support Mode
+
+Now Spark Script transform can run without `-Phive` or `SparkSession.builder.enableHiveSupport()`.
+In this case, now we only use script transform with `ROW FORMAT DELIMIT` and treat all value passed
+to script as string. 
+
+### With Hive Support Mode
+
+When build Spark with `-Phive` and start Spark SQL with `enableHiveSupport()`, we can use script 
+transform with Hive SerDe and both `ROW FORMAT DELIMIT`.
+
+### Schema-less Script Transforms
+
+If there don't have AS clause after USING my_script, Spark assumes that the output of the script contains 2 parts:
+
+   1. key: which is before the first tab, 
+   2. value: which is the rest after the first tab.
+
+Note that this is different from specifying AS key, value because in that case, value will only contain the portion

Review comment:
       AS -> an AS
   "key, value"
   Maybe tick-quote all these reserved words too, like NULL as well?
   value -> the value

+    2. WIth Hive: It means we run Spark SQL with Hive support, in this mode, when we use default format, 
+       it will be treated as Hive default fomat. And we can use Hive supported SerDe to process data.
+
+In both mode with default format, columns will be transformed to STRING and delimited by TAB before feeding
+to the user script, Similarly, all NULL values will be converted to the literal string \N in order to
+differentiate NULL values from empty strings. The standard output of the user script will be treated as
+TAB-separated STRING columns, any cell containing only \N will be re-interpreted as a NULL, and then the
+resulting STRING column will be cast to the data type specified in the table declaration in the usual way.
+User scripts can output debug information to standard error which will be shown on the task detail page on hadoop.
+These defaults can be overridden with `ROW FORMAT DELIMITED`.

+```
+
+### Parameters
+
+* **named_expression**
+
+    An expression with an assigned name. In general, it denotes a column expression.
+
+    **Syntax:** `expression [AS] [alias]`
+
+* **row_format**    
+
+    Use the `SERDE` clause to specify a custom SerDe for one table. Otherwise, use the `DELIMITED` clause to use the native SerDe and specify the delimiter, escape character, null character and so on.
+
+* **SERDE**
+
+    Specifies a custom SerDe for one table.
+
+* **serde_class**
+
+    Specifies a fully-qualified class name of a custom SerDe.
+
+* **SERDEPROPERTIES**
+
+    A list of key-value pairs that is used to tag the SerDe definition.
+
+* **DELIMITED**
+
+    The `DELIMITED` clause can be used to specify the native SerDe and state the delimiter, escape character, null character and so on.
+    
+* **FIELDS TERMINATED BY**
+
+    Used to define a column separator.
+    
+* **COLLECTION ITEMS TERMINATED BY**
+
+    Used to define a collection item separator.
+   
+* **MAP KEYS TERMINATED BY**
+
+    Used to define a map key separator.
+    
+* **LINES TERMINATED BY**
+
+    Used to define a row separator.
+    
+* **NULL DEFINED AS**
+
+    Used to define the specific value for NULL.
+    
+* **ESCAPED BY**
+
+    Used for escape mechanism.
+
+* **RECORDREADER**
+
+    Specifies a custom RecordReader for one table.
+
+* **RECORDWRITER**
+
+    Specifies a custom RecordWriter for one table.
+
+* **recordReader_class**
+
+    Specifies a fully-qualified class name of a custom RecordReader. 
+    Default value is `org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.TextRecordReader`
+
+* **recordWriter_class**
+
+    Specifies a fully-qualified class name of a custom RecordWriter. 
+    Default value is `org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.TextRecordWriter`.
+
+* **script**
+
+    Specify a command to process data.
+
+* **boolean_expression**
+
+    Specifies any expression that evaluates to a result type `boolean`. Two or
+    more expressions may be combined together using the logical
+    operators ( `AND`, `OR` ).
+
+* **expression**
+
+    Specifies combination of one or more values, operators and SQL functions that results in a value.
+
+### Without Hive support Mode
+
+Now Spark Script transform can run without `-Phive` or `SparkSession.builder.enableHiveSupport()`.
+In this case, now we only use script transform with `ROW FORMAT DELIMIT` and treat all value passed
+to script as string.
