As you can see from below link, that it support 7 file formats. I am dealing with GeoSpatial Shape files and I want to know if Auto Loader can support Shape Files ???

Any help on this is greatly appreciated.

csv: CSV filejson: JSON file

orc: ORC fileparquet: Parquet file

* text: Text file

thanks

Hi @Yuv Saha ,

Currently, shapefiles are not a supported file-type when using auto-loader. Would you be willing to share more about your use case? I am the Product Manager responsible for Geospatial in Databricks, and I need help from customers like you to better understand what you are doing with spatial data, how often you refresh the data, how big it is, etc. Any information you can share would be great!
