Hyukjin Kwon commented on SPARK-19228:
--------------------------------------

Yes, inferring {{DateType}} is currently not supported (we don't have 
{{tryParseDate}}). As we now have two different options, {{dateFormat}} for 
{{DateType}} and {{timestampFormat}} for {{TimestampType}} each which were 
unified with {{dateFormat}} option before, I think it'd make sense to make this 
possible by introducing {{tryParseDate}}.

> inferSchema function processed csv date column as string and "dateFormat" 
> DataSource option is ignored

>    Affects Versions: 2.1.0

> I need to process user.csv like this:
> {code}
> id,project,started,ended
> sergey.rubtsov,project0,12/12/2012,10/10/2015
> {code}
> When I add date format options:
> {code}
>         Dataset<Row> users = spark.read().format("csv").option("mode", 
> "PERMISSIVE").option("header", "true")
>                                 .option("inferSchema", 
> "true").option("dateFormat", 
> "dd/MM/yyyy").load("src/main/resources/user.csv");
>               users.printSchema();
> {code}
> expected scheme should be 
> {code}
> root
>  |-- id: string (nullable = true)
>  |-- project: string (nullable = true)
>  |-- started: date (nullable = true)
>  |-- ended: date (nullable = true)
> {code}
> but the actual result is: 
> {code}
> root
>  |-- id: string (nullable = true)
>  |-- project: string (nullable = true)
>  |-- started: string (nullable = true)
>  |-- ended: string (nullable = true)
> {code}
> This mean that date processed as string and "dateFormat" option is ignored 
> and date processed as string.
> If I add option 
> {code}
> .option("timestampFormat", "dd/MM/yyyy")
> {code}
> result is: 
> {code}
> root
>  |-- id: string (nullable = true)
>  |-- project: string (nullable = true)
>  |-- started: timestamp (nullable = true)
>  |-- ended: timestamp (nullable = true)
> {code}
> I think, the issue is somewhere in object CSVInferSchema, function 
> inferField, lines 80-97 and
> method "tryParseDate" need to be added before/after "tryParseTimestamp", or 
> date/timestamp process logic need to be changed.
