             Summary: Support for inferring type date/timestamp for partition column
                 Key: SPARK-17388
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-17388
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: SQL
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0
            Reporter: Hyukjin Kwon
            Priority: Minor


Currently, Spark only supports to infer {{IntegerType}}, {{LongType}}, {{DoubleType}} and {{StringType}}.

{{DecimalType}} is being tried but it seems it never infers type as {{DecimalType}} as {{DoubleType}} is being tried first.

Also, {{DateType}} and {{TimestampType}} can be inferred. It seems it is a pretty common to use both for a partition column.

It'd be great if they can be inferred as both rather than just {{StringType}}.
