The file was created by another spark process and read in this step for processing . Will folders have . cause any issue ? or is it anything basic I am doing wrong.

Answer 1

You need to pass in the path with file system. Try giving full qualified path with file system, like spark.read.csv("hdfs:///hdfsData/bdipoc/poc/Inbound/tmp/.TEST/23329_20210430_162409/src_copy_file.file/*.csv")
Update:
To use regex pattern,
spark.read.csv("hdfs:///hdfsData/bdipoc/poc/Inbound/tmp/.TEST/23329_20210430_162409/src_copy_file.file/[part-]*.csv")
