[jira] [Updated] (SPARK-28515) to_timestamp returns null for summer
time switch dates
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-28515?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Andreas Költringer updated SPARK-28515:
---------------------------------------
Description:
I am not sure if this is a bug - but it was a very unexpected behavior, so I'd like some clarification.
When parsing datetime-strings, when the date-time in question falls into the range of a "summer time switch" (e.g. in (most of) Europe, on 2015-03-29 at 2am the clock was forwarded to 3am), the {{to_timestamp}} method returns {{NULL}}.
Minimal Example (using Python):
{{>>> df = spark.createDataFrame([('201503290159',), ('201503290200',)], ['date_str'])}}
{{>>> df.withColumn('timestamp', F.to_timestamp('date_str', 'yyyyMMddhhmm')).show()}}
{{+-------------+------------------+ }}
{{| date_str| timestamp|}}
{{+-------------+------------------+}}
{{|201503290159|2015-03-29 01:59:00|}}
{{|201503290200| null|}}
{{+-------------+------------------+}}
A solution (or workaround) is to set the time zone for Spark to UTC:
{{spark.conf.set("spark.sql.session.timeZone", "UTC")}}
(see e.g. [https://stackoverflow.com/q/52594762)]
Plain Java does not do this, e.g. this works as expected:
{{SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMddhhmm"); }}
{{Date parsedDate = dateFormat.parse("201503290201"); }}
{{Timestamp timestamp = new java.sql.Timestamp(parsedDate.getTime());}}
So, is this really the intended behaviour? Is there documentation about this? THX.
