azure data bricks: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Failed to find data source: com.databricks.spark.xml

Question

I'm trying to read xml file using azure databricks using below code:

df = spark.read.format('com.databricks.spark.xml').options(rowTag='book').load(' /FileStore/tables/sample.xml')

I installed spark-xml:0.1.1-s_2.10 package:

But I'm getting below error:

Py4JJavaError: An error occurred while calling o285.load.

You should download the latest version "spark-xml" from the maven repository.

Steps to install third party libraries:

Step1: Create Databricks Cluster.

Step2: Select the cluster created.

Step3: Select Libraries => Install New => Select Library Source = "Maven" => Coordinates => Search Packages => Select Maven Central => Search for the package required. Example: (com.databricks:spark-xml_2.12:0.9.0) => Install

To read xml file using azure databricks us below code:

df = spark.read .format("com.databricks.spark.xml") .option("rowTag", "book") .load(inputFile)

For more details, refer "Read XML in Spark".
