             Summary: Add data source option to list hidden files
                 Key: SPARK-57354
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-57354
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Spark Core
    Affects Versions: 4.2.0
            Reporter: Calvin Qin


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.
