Daniel Himmelstein commented on SPARK-26325: -------------------------------------------- Here's the code from the original post, but using an RDD rather than JSON file and applying [~maxgekk]'s suggestion to "try Z instead of 'Z'": {code:python} line = '{"time_field" : "2017-09-30 04:53:39.412496Z"}' rdd = spark.sparkContext.parallelize([line]) ( spark.read .option("timestampFormat", "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSSSSSZ") .json(path=rdd) ){code} The output I get with pyspark 3.0.1 is `DataFrame[time_field: string]`. So it looks like the issue remains. I'd be interested if there are any examples where spark infers a timestamp from a JSON string or whether timestampFormat does not work at all? > Interpret timestamp fields in Spark while reading json (timestampFormat) > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: SPARK-26325 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-26325 > Project: Spark > Issue Type: Bug > Components: SQL > Affects Versions: 2.4.0 > Reporter: Veenit Shah > Priority: Major > > I am trying to read a pretty printed json which has time fields in it.
