Akshat Shenoi updated SPARK-57135:
----------------------------------
    Description: 
Spark cannot currently read CSV files packaged inside tar archives (.tar, 
.tar.gz, .tgz); users must unpack them externally first.

This adds opt-in support (spark.sql.files.archive.reader.enabled, default 
false) for reading such archives through the CSV data source by streaming each 
entry through the CSV parser, without materializing entries to local disk:
 * A streaming ArchiveReader opens the tar once and yields one bounded 
InputStream per entry, advancing lazily so memory
  stays bounded regardless of archive size. Directories and dot-prefixed 
entries are skipped. .tar.gz is decompressed via
  Hadoop's codec factory; .tgz is gunzipped explicitly. ArchiveReader is an 
abstract base (TarArchiveReader is the only
  implementation today), so other archive formats can be added as additive 
subclasses.
 * CSVFileFormat treats archives as non-splittable (one split per archive) and 
streams each entry through UnivocityParser,
  handling each entry as a standalone CSV file (headers, multiLine, delimiters, 
column pruning).

Scope: CSV reads over tar only. Schema inference from archives, and other file 
formats (e.g. JSON, text, XML), are left to follow-ups. Streaming supports 
formats parseable sequentially; formats needing random access (Parquet/ORC 
footers) cannot stream from a tar and are out of scope.

* Schema inference streams entries through the same CSVInferSchema path as a 
multi-file CSV read.

Scope: CSV only. Streaming supports formats parseable sequentially; formats 
needing random access (Parquet/ORC footers) cannot stream from a tar and are 
out of scope.

(Supersedes the original proposal, which materialized entries to temp files via 
a format-agnostic ArchiveFormat.)
