> h2. What
> Add native {{TIME}} support to the built-in JDBC data source so that SQL {{TIME}} columns
> in external databases map to Spark's {{TimeType}} on read, and {{TimeType}} columns map to
> SQL {{TIME}} on write.
> h2. Why
> This is the core motivation of the SPIP (SPARK-51162, Q5): simplify migration from
> PostgreSQL, Snowflake, Redshift, Teradata, DB2, etc. Today JDBC cannot represent TIME:
> * On read, {{JdbcUtils.getCatalystType}} maps {{java.sql.Types.TIME}} to a *timestamp*
>   type, not {{TimeType}}.
> * On write, {{JdbcUtils.getJdbcType}} has no {{case TimeType}}.
> * No dialect maps TIME.
> h2. Scope
> * {{JdbcUtils.getCatalystType}}: map {{java.sql.Types.TIME}} to {{TimeType}} (gated by the
>   TIME feature flag and a JDBC option for back-compat).
> * {{JdbcUtils.getJdbcType}}: add {{case TimeType => JdbcType("TIME", java.sql.Types.TIME)}}.
> * Value conversion in {{JdbcUtils}} (read {{ResultSet.getTime}}/getObject -> nanos-of-day;
>   write nanos-of-day -> {{java.sql.Time}}/{{LocalTime}}), preserving sub-second precision
>   where the driver allows.
> * Per-dialect overrides where the SQL type name/precision differs
>   (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MS SQL Server, Oracle, DB2, H2) in {{JdbcDialects}} and dialect
>   classes. Consider splitting per-dialect work into sub-tasks.
> h2. Compatibility
> * A back-compat switch so existing pipelines that read TIME-as-timestamp do not break;
>   document the new behavior.
> h2. Acceptance criteria
> * Read/write round-trip of TIME columns against the JDBC integration-test databases
>   (Postgres/MySQL/MS SQL/Oracle/DB2) preserves values.
> * Schema inference reports {{TimeType}} for TIME columns.
