[jira] [Comment Edited] (SPARK-16216) CSV data source does not write date and timestamp correctly

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-16216?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15383664#comment-15383664 ]

JSON writes date and timestamp as a string format as below:

{code}
// TimestampType
1970-01-01 11:46:40.0

// DateType
1970-01-01
{code}

So, like [~srowen] suggested for CSV, this might have to be written as timestamp (as long values) by default with configurable option for this.

> Currently, CSV data source write {{DateType}} and {{TimestampType}} as below:
> {code}
> +----------------+
> |            date|
> +----------------+
> |1440637200000000|
> |1414459800000000|
> |1454040000000000|
> +----------------+
> {code}
> It would be nicer if it write dates and timestamps as a formatted string just like JSON data sources.
> Also, CSV data source currently supports {{dateFormat}} option to read dates and timestamps in a custom format. It might be better if this option can be applied in writing as well.
