Hi Sree,
There is a blog about that, http://searchdatascience.com/spark-adventures-1-processing-multi-line-json-files/ It is pretty old but I am sure that it is helpful. Currently, JSON datasource only supports to rest JSON documents formatted according to http://jsonlines.org/ There is an issue open to support this https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-18352 I hope this is helpful. Thanks. 2016-11-15 16:20 GMT+09:00 Sree Eedupuganti <s...@inndata.in>: > I tried from Spark-Shell and i am getting the following error: > > Here is the test.json file: > > { > "colorsArray": [{ > "red": "#f00", > "green": "#0f0", > "blue": "#00f", > "cyan": "#0ff", > "magenta": "#f0f", > "yellow": "#ff0", > "black": "#000" > }]} > > > scala> val jtex = > sqlContext.read.format("json").option("samplingRatio","1.0").load("/user/spark/test.json") > > jtex: org.apache.spark.sql.DataFrame = [_corrupt_record: string] > > > Any suggestions please.
