this works with parquet
val sqlDF = spark.sql("SELECT DISTINCT field FROM parquet.`file-path'")
I tried the same way with Avro but it keeps giving me an error even if i use com.databricks.spark.avro.
When I execute the following query:
val sqlDF = spark.sql("SELECT DISTINCT Source_Product_Classification FROM avro.`file path`")
I get the AnalysisException. Why?
org.apache.spark.sql.AnalysisException: Failed to find data source: avro. Please find an Avro package at http://spark.apache.org/third-party-projects.html;; line 1 pos 51

Changing the name of the format to com.databricks.spark.avro does not make any difference and queries fail.
val sqlDF = spark.sql("SELECT DISTINCT Source_Product_Classification FROM com.databricks.spark.avro`file-path`")

Spark SQL supports avro format through a separate spark-avro module.
A library for reading and writing Avro data from Spark SQL.
Please note that spark-avro is a seaprate module that is not included by default in Spark.
You should load the module using spark-submit --packages, e.g.
$ bin/spark-shell --packages com.databricks:spark-avro_2.11:3.2.0
