Hi,

Quick question on data type transform when creating RDD object.

I want to create a person object with "name" and DOB(date of birth):
        case class Person(name: String, DOB: java.sql.Date)

then I want to create an RDD from a text file without the header, e.g. "name" 
and "DOB". I have problem of the following expression, because p(1) is 
previously defined as java.sql.Date in the case class:

    val people = 
sc.textFile("examples/src/main/resources/people.txt").map(_.split(",")).map(p 
=> Person(p(0), p(1))).toDF()

36: error: type mismatch;
found   : String
required: java.sql.Date

so how do I transform p(1) in the above expression to java.sql.Date.

any help will be appreciated here.

thanks
