> h2. Summary
> JSON, CSV, and XML schema inference probe whether a string value is a {{TIME}} by calling the throwing {{TimeFormatter.parse}} inside {{allCatch opt}}:
> {code:scala}
> if (isTimeTypeEnabled && (allCatch opt timeFormatter.parse(field)).isDefined) {
>   TimeType(TimeType.DEFAULT_PRECISION)
> }
> {code}
> For the default (pattern-less) formatter, {{parse}} calls {{SparkDateTimeUtils.stringToTimeAnsi}}, which throws a {{SparkDateTimeException}} (filling in a stack trace) for every value that is not a time. During inference of a non-time column, this is one thrown-and-caught exception per row.
> This is the same cost that SPARK-39193 / SPARK-39280 / SPARK-39281 removed for timestamp and date inference by introducing a non-throwing {{parseOptional}} (that change reported exception handling as more than 90% of type-inference time). {{TimeType}} was added later and never got a {{parseOptional}}, so it is the only datetime formatter still using the throwing probe -- the timestamp probe immediately below the time probe already uses {{parseOptional}}.
