>             Project: Spark
>          Issue Type: Bug

> I've been running type tests for the Spark Cassandra Connector and couldn't get a consistent result for java.sql.Date. I investigated and noticed the following code is used to create Catalyst.DateTypes
> https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/bb3b3627ac3fcd18be7fb07b6d0ba5eae0342fc3/sql/catalyst/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/sql/catalyst/util/DateTimeUtils.scala#L139-L144
> {code}
>  /**
>    * Returns the number of days since epoch from from java.sql.Date.
>    */
>   def fromJavaDate(date: Date): SQLDate = {
>     millisToDays(date.getTime)
>   }
> {code}
> But millisToDays does not abide by this contract, shifting the underlying timestamp to the local timezone before calculating the days from epoch. This causes the invocation to move the actual date around.
> {code}
>   // we should use the exact day as Int, for example, (year, month, day) -> day
>   def millisToDays(millisUtc: Long): SQLDate = {
>     // SPARK-6785: use Math.floor so negative number of days (dates before 1970)
>     // will correctly work as input for function toJavaDate(Int)
>     val millisLocal = millisUtc + threadLocalLocalTimeZone.get().getOffset(millisUtc)
>     Math.floor(millisLocal.toDouble / MILLIS_PER_DAY).toInt
>   }
> {code}
> The inverse function also incorrectly shifts the timezone
> {code}
>   // reverse of millisToDays
>   def daysToMillis(days: SQLDate): Long = {
>     val millisUtc = days.toLong * MILLIS_PER_DAY
>     millisUtc - threadLocalLocalTimeZone.get().getOffset(millisUtc)
>   }
> {code}
> https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/bb3b3627ac3fcd18be7fb07b6d0ba5eae0342fc3/sql/catalyst/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/sql/catalyst/util/DateTimeUtils.scala#L81-L93
> This will cause 1-off errors and could cause significant shifts in data if the underlying data is worked on in different timezones than UTC.
