> Spark's file-based data sources skip hidden files and directories (names who start with `_` or `.` (and files ending in `._COPYING_`) during file listing and partition discovery. This filter is always on, with no way to override it. 
> This adds a way to opt out of the filter, with a per-read data source option `listHiddenFiles` and a session config `spark.sql.files.listHiddenFiles` (default false)
> When true, hidden files and directories are listed. False maintains default behavior. The per-read option takes precedent over the session config.
