Anton Daitche created SPARK-30632: ------------------------------------- Summary: to_timestamp() doesn't work with certain timezones Key: SPARK-30632 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-30632 Project: Spark Issue Type: Bug Components: Spark Core Affects Versions: 2.4.4, 2.3.0 Reporter: Anton Daitche
It seams that to_timestamp() doesn't work with timezones of the type <Country>/<City>, e.g. America/Los_Angeles. The code {code:scala} val df = Seq( ("2019-01-24 11:30:00.123", "America/Los_Angeles"), ("2020-01-01 01:30:00.123", "PST") ).toDF("ts_str", "tz_name") val ts_parsed = to_timestamp( concat_ws(" ", $"ts_str", $"tz_name"), "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS z" ).as("timestamp") df.select(ts_parsed).show(false) {code} prints {code} +-------------------+ |timestamp | +-------------------+ |null | |2020-01-01 10:30:00| +-------------------+ {code} So, the datetime string with timezone PST is properly parsed, whereas the one with America/Los_Angeles is converted to null. According to [this|https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/24195#issuecomment-578055146] response on GitHub, this code works when run on the recent master version.
