Support `timestampFormat` in ingest #438

Open sergiimk opened 10 months ago

sergiimk commented 10 months ago

Currently the timestampFormat is not supported in our datafusion-based ingest readers.

Datafusion and arrow timestamp support is currently lacking and only can parse rfc3339 strings.

Because of this, some datasets like covid/quebec.case-details have to rely on Spark to parse complex time formats.

This ticket is to investigate the support for advanced timestamp parsing.

This can be easily implemented now that datafusion supported chrono format specifiers e.g.:

select to_timestamp('2020/03/30 12:00:00+00', '%Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S%#z') as t;

@sergiimk , is it a ticket to add a "custom" SQL function that will call our native code?

very interesting direction!
