Peter Toth updated SPARK-27882:
-------------------------------
    Description: 
Date and time related functions in Spark use 
[DateTimeFormatter|https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/time/format/DateTimeFormatter.html]
 to parse and format dates where a pattern is defined. Unfortunately, it is not 
entirely compatible with the SQL:2016 standard.

There is an initiative in Impala: IMPALA-4018 and Hive HIVE-21575 to support 
SQL:2016 patterns as both these systems lack this feature currently.
 The [Impala design 
document|https://docs.google.com/document/d/1V7k6-lrPGW7_uhqM-FhKl3QsxwCRy69v2KIxPsGjc1k/edit]
 and [compatibility 
matrix|https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lD4EcVaTp-qtm0JYPTPfhqYrwwNl0qJHHYP8dICS9EY/edit#gid=0]
 created by [~gaborkaszab] covers how the compliance with the standard can be 
achieved and how do other databases support this standard. I believe these 
documents are very useful for Spark community as well.
 Since Hive is also JVM based I also see an option to share some code that does 
the parsing/formatting according to the standard.

(Please note that format patterns are just one part of these tickets, the other 
part about `CAST (... FORMAT <pattern>)` function, which is also part of the 
SQL:2016 standard, is covered here: SPARK-27881)
