Hi Peter,
You can use the spark.readImages API in spark 2.3 for reading images:

https://spark.apache.org/docs/2.3.0/api/scala/index.html#org.apache.spark.ml.image.ImageSchema$
There’s also a spark package for spark versions older than 2.3:

Thank you, Ilya

Subject: Re: read image or binary files / spark 2.3
Hello experts,
I have quick question: which API allows me to read images files or binary files
(for SparkSession.readStream) from a local/hadoop file system in Spark 2.3?
I have been browsing the following documentations and googling for it and
didn't find a good example/documentation:
https://spark.apache.org/docs/2.3.0/streaming-programming-guide.html<https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fspark.apache.org%2Fdocs%2F2.3.0%2Fstreaming-programming-guide.html=02%7C01%7Cilmat%40microsoft.com%7Cad36f2af52aa4cc906d908d7322cc4e1%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C1%7C637033040182027177=vYJ%2Ftor22teIlzMGMfqvsiQn5D6iFHcf4u0N2K2dkmc%3D=0>
