Hi, I am newbee to Spark , My appologies for such a naive question I am using Spark 1.4.1 and wrtiting code in scala . I have input data as CSVfile which I am parsing using spark-csv package . I am creating custom schema to process the CSV file . Now my query is which dataype or can say Structfield should I use for Date column of my CSV file. I am using hivecontext and have requirement to create hive table after processing the CSV file. For example my date columnin CSV file looks like
25/11/2014 20/9/2015 25/10/2015 31/10/2012 25/9/2013 25/11/2012 20/10/2013 25/10/2011
