## What changes were proposed in this pull request? Most of the documentation in https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/sql/README.md is stale. It would be useful to keep the list of projects to explain what's going on, and everything else should be removed. ## How was this patch tested? N/A Author: Reynold Xin <rxin@databricks.com> Closes #14211 from rxin/SPARK-16557.

Spark SQL
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
This module provides support for executing relational queries expressed in either SQL or the DataFrame/Dataset API.
|
|
|
|
Spark SQL is broken up into four subprojects:
|
|
- Catalyst (sql/catalyst) - An implementation-agnostic framework for manipulating trees of relational operators and expressions.
|
|
- Execution (sql/core) - A query planner / execution engine for translating Catalyst's logical query plans into Spark RDDs. This component also includes a new public interface, SQLContext, that allows users to execute SQL or LINQ statements against existing RDDs and Parquet files.
|
|
- Hive Support (sql/hive) - Includes an extension of SQLContext called HiveContext that allows users to write queries using a subset of HiveQL and access data from a Hive Metastore using Hive SerDes. There are also wrappers that allows users to run queries that include Hive UDFs, UDAFs, and UDTFs.
|
|
- HiveServer and CLI support (sql/hive-thriftserver) - Includes support for the SQL CLI (bin/spark-sql) and a HiveServer2 (for JDBC/ODBC) compatible server.
