# Description of the relationship between each module

This repo contains the code that integrate Hudi with Spark. The repo is split into the following modules

`hudi-spark`
`hudi-spark2`
`hudi-spark3`
`hudi-spark3.1.x`
`hudi-spark2-common`
`hudi-spark3-common`
`hudi-spark-common`

* hudi-spark is the module that contains the code that both spark2 & spark3 version would share, also contains the antlr4 
file that supports spark sql on spark 2.x version.
* hudi-spark2 is the module that contains the code that compatible with spark 2.x versions.
* hudi-spark3 is the module that contains the code that compatible with spark 3.2.0(and above) versions。
* hudi-spark3.1.x is the module that contains the code that compatible with spark3.1.x and spark3.0.x version.  
* hudi-spark2-common is the module that contains the code that would be reused between spark2.x versions, right now the module
has no class since hudi only supports spark 2.4.4 version, and it acts as the placeholder when packaging hudi-spark-bundle module. 
* hudi-spark3-common is the module that contains the code that would be reused between spark3.x versions.
* hudi-spark-common is the module that contains the code that would be reused between spark2.x and spark3.x versions.

## Description of Time Travel
* `HoodieSpark3_2ExtendedSqlAstBuilder` have comments in the spark3.2's code fork from `org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.parser.AstBuilder`, and additional `withTimeTravel` method.
* `SqlBase.g4` have comments in the code forked from spark3.2's parser, and add SparkSQL Syntax  `TIMESTAMP AS OF` and `VERSION AS OF`.
