Hi [~huldar] I get a different output:
{noformat}
Input data (singleCol):

singleCol.filter("starttime = '2019-08-11 19:33:05'").show();

Make sure to set 
{code:java}
.config("spark.sql.session.timeZone", "UTC") {code}
Otherwise, your JVM timezone is used.

>                 Key: SPARK-41266
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-41266
>             Project: Spark
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: SQL
>    Affects Versions: 3.2.1
>         Environment: Windows 10, Spark 3.2.1 with Java 11
>            Reporter: Laurens Versluis
>            Priority: Major
>
> Likely affects more versions, tested only with 3.2.1.
>  
> Summary:
> Spark will convert a timestamp string to a timestamp when using the equal operator (=), yet won't do this when using the IN operator.
>  
> Details:
> While debugging an issue why we got no results on a query, we found out that when using the equal symbol `=` in the WHERE clause combined with a TimeStampType column that Spark will convert the string to a timestamp and filter.
> However, when using the IN operator (our query), it will not do so, and perform a cast to string. We expected the behavior to be similar, or at least that Spark realizes the IN clause operates on a TimeStampType column and thus attempts to convert to timestamp first before falling back to string comparison.
>  
> *Minimal reproducible example:*
> Suppose we have a one-line dataset with the follow contents and schema:
>  
> {noformat}
> +----------------------------+
> |starttime                   |
> +----------------------------+
> |2019-08-11 19:33:05         |
> +----------------------------+
> root
>  |-- starttime: timestamp (nullable = true){noformat}
> Then if we fire the following queries, we will not get results for the IN-clause one using a timestamp string with timezone information:
>  
>  
> {code:java}
> // Works - Spark casts the argument to a string and the internal representation of the time seems to match it...
> singleCol.filter("starttime IN ('2019-08-11 19:33:05')").show();
> // Works
> singleCol.filter("starttime = '2019-08-11 19:33:05'").show();
> // Works
> singleCol.filter("starttime = '2019-08-11T19:33:05Z'").show();
> // Doesn't work
> singleCol.filter("starttime IN ('2019-08-11T19:33:05Z')").show();
> //Works
> singleCol.filter("starttime IN (to_timestamp('2019-08-11T19:33:05Z'))").show(); {code}
>  
> We can see from the output that a cast to string is taking place:
> {noformat}
> [...] isnotnull(starttime#59),(cast(starttime#59 as string) = 2019-08-11 19:33:05){noformat}
> Since the = operator does work, it would be consistent if operators such as the IN operator would have similar, consistent behavior.
