             Summary: Spark SQL casting to TimestampType with nanosecond results in incorrect timestamp
                 Key: SPARK-17914
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-17914
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: SQL
    Affects Versions: 1.6.1
            Reporter: Oksana Romankova


In some cases when timestamps contain nanoseconds they will be parsed incorrectly. 

Examples: 

"2016-05-14T15:12:14.0034567Z" -> "2016-05-14 15:12:14.034567"
"2016-05-14T15:12:14.000345678Z" -> "2016-05-14 15:12:14.345678"

The issue seems to be happening in DateTimeUtils.stringToTimestamp(). It assumes that only 6 digit fraction of a second will be passed.

With this being the case I would suggest either discarding nanoseconds automatically, or throw an exception prompting to pre-format timestamps to microsecond precision first before casting to the Timestamp.
