Can we read SAS files with .spds9 file extension

[Saiteja-136]

Hello,
I came across .spds9 file extension sas files and got to know these are the files created by partition logic for huge sas files to read them faster into metadata and data files. Can we read such files with this code or please suggest if there is any alternative. Thanks in Advance

@Saiteja-136 the spark-sas7bdat library uses the epam/parso Java library internally to read the SAS data, if you want them to support .spds9 files, you will need to ask them (perhaps, raise an issue on their repo).

Alternatively, if you know of a good open-source Java library that reads .spds9 files, we could consider implementing that into spark-sas7bdat.
