Apply Date format when changing DataType












0















I'm applying Data Type for each column in Data Frame like below



[StructField('name',StringType(),True), StructField(‘dob’,DateType(),True)]


Is there anyway to mention date format YYYY/MM/DD in the above statement?

  • why should you do? you can use date function like spark.apache.org/docs/latest/api/java/org/apache/spark/sql/… (for scala) to get string date representation with specific format

I'm sorry but no, you can't, and the default Datetype format is this one: YYYY-MM-DD, as it says in the documentation of apache spark:




A date type, supporting "0001-01-01" through "9999-12-31".
