+title: Avro Data Source Guide
+---
+
+Since Spark 2.4 release, [Spark
SQL](https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/sql-programming-guide.html) provides
support for reading and writing Avro data.
+
+## Deploying
+The <code>spark-avro</code> module is external and not included in
`spark-submit` or `spark-shell` by default.
+
+As with any Spark applications, `spark-submit` is used to launch your
application. `spark-avro_{{site.SCALA_BINARY_VERSION}}`
+and its dependencies can be directly added to `spark-submit` using
`--packages`, such as,
+
+ ./bin/spark-submit --packages
org.apache.spark:spark-avro_{{site.SCALA_BINARY_VERSION}}:{{site.SPARK_VERSION_SHORT}}
...
+
+For experimenting on `spark-shell`, you can also use `--packages` to add
`org.apache.spark:spark-avro_{{site.SCALA_BINARY_VERSION}}` and its
dependencies directly,
+
+ ./bin/spark-shell --packages
org.apache.spark:spark-avro_{{site.SCALA_BINARY_VERSION}}:{{site.SPARK_VERSION_SHORT}}
...
+
+See [Application Submission Guide](submitting-applications.html) for more
details about submitting applications with external dependencies.
+
+## Examples
+
+Since `spark-avro` module is external, there is not such API as
<code>.avro</code> in

I see. I can change the title as read/write Avro data...
