Thomas Hille commented on HDFS-10327: ------------------------------------- Hej Chris Nauroth, they dont use any special serialization. If you save a text file in hdfs like dataframe.write().format("com.databricks.spark.csv").option("header", "true").mode(SaveMode.Overwrite).save("/tmp/file.csv"); you end up with a bunch of part-00000 part-00001 part-00002 ... files inside of the folder /tmp/file.csv/. They are plain text and basically just the splitted csv-file. Anyway, I understand now, thats not of your business.
