             Summary: Cast from string to date and date to string say timezone is needed, but it is not used
                 Key: SPARK-42898
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-42898
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: SQL
    Affects Versions: 3.2.0
            Reporter: Robert Joseph Evans


This is really minor but SPARK-35581 removed the need for a timezone when casting from a `StringType` to a `DateType`, but the patch didn't update the `needsTimeZone` function to indicate that it was not longer required.

Currently Casting from a DateType to a StringType also says that it needs the timezone, but it only uses the `DateFormatter` with it's default parameters that do not use the time zone at all.

I think this can be fixed with just a two line change.
