Hi,
In pyspark when if I read a json file using sqlcontext I find that the date
field is not infered as date instead it is converted to string. And when I
try to convert it to date using df.withColumn(df.DateCol.cast("timestamp"))
it does not parse it successfuly and adds a null instead there. Should I
use UDF to convert the date ? Is this expected behaviour (not throwing an
error after failure to cast all fields)?-- Regards, Suraj
