<div class="block">::DeveloperApi::
 Implemented by objects that produce relations for a specific kind of data source
 with a given schema.  When Spark SQL is given a DDL operation with a USING clause specified (
 to specify the implemented SchemaRelationProvider) and a user defined schema, this interface
 is used to pass in the parameters specified by a user.
 <p>
 Users may specify the fully qualified class name of a given data source.  When that class is
 not found Spark SQL will append the class name <code>DefaultSource</code> to the path, allowing for
 less verbose invocation.  For example, 'org.apache.spark.sql.json' would resolve to the
 data source 'org.apache.spark.sql.json.DefaultSource'
 <p>
 A new instance of this class with be instantiated each time a DDL call is made.
 <p>
 The difference between a <a href="../../../../../org/apache/spark/sql/sources/RelationProvider.html" title="interface in org.apache.spark.sql.sources"><code>RelationProvider</code></a> and a <a href="../../../../../org/apache/spark/sql/sources/SchemaRelationProvider.html" title="interface in org.apache.spark.sql.sources"><code>SchemaRelationProvider</code></a> is that
 users need to provide a schema when using a <a href="../../../../../org/apache/spark/sql/sources/SchemaRelationProvider.html" title="interface in org.apache.spark.sql.sources"><code>SchemaRelationProvider</code></a>.
 A relation provider can inherits both <a href="../../../../../org/apache/spark/sql/sources/RelationProvider.html" title="interface in org.apache.spark.sql.sources"><code>RelationProvider</code></a> and <a href="../../../../../org/apache/spark/sql/sources/SchemaRelationProvider.html" title="interface in org.apache.spark.sql.sources"><code>SchemaRelationProvider</code></a>
 if it can support both schema inference and user-specified schemas.
