Custom read schema support for Spark 1.6

[nshah99]

We are using Spark 1.6 in our clusters and want to use this library to read avro files. As part of reading the avro files, we want to able to supply a different read schema so that we can handle schema evolutions. The version suggested for Spark 1.6 (version=2.0.1) does not support this.

Is there a version which works with Spark 1.6 and also supports this feature ?
