h1. Solution in pyspark 3.0.1
Turns out there is an {{inferTimestamp }}option that must be enabled. >From the
spark [migration
guide|https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/sql-migration-guide.html#upgrading-from-spark-sql-30-to-301]:
{quote}In Spark 3.0, JSON datasource and JSON function {{schema_of_json}} infer
TimestampType from string values if they match to the pattern defined by the
JSON option {{timestampFormat}}. Since version 3.0.1, the timestamp type
inference is disabled by default. Set the JSON option {{inferTimestamp}} to
{{true}} to enable such type inference.
{quote}
Surprised this would occur in a patch release and is not reflected yet in the
[latest
docs|https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/api/java/org/apache/spark/sql/DataFrameReader.html].
But looks like it correlated with a major performance decrease so was turned
off by default:
[apache/spark#28966|https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/28966], SPARK-26325,
and SPARK-32130.
So in pyspark 3.0.1:
{code:python}
line = '{"time_field" : "2017-09-30 04:53:39.412496Z"}'
rdd = spark.sparkContext.parallelize([line])
(
spark.read
.option("inferTimestamp", "true")
.option("timestampFormat", "-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SS'Z'")
.json(path=rdd)
){code}
Returns:
{code:java}
DataFrame[time_field: timestamp]
{code}
Yay!

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", "-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSZ")
.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?

Can you try Z instead of 'Z'?
