Both `.option("timeColumn","ds")` and `.parquet(path, time_column='ds') ` don't work

[eromoe]

I have tried below way

df = fc.read.option("timeColumn","ds").option('isSorted', False).dataframe(spark.read.parquet('/test/SALECOUNT_OUT'))

df = fc.read.option("timeColumn","ds").option('isSorted', False).parquet('/test/SALECOUNT_OUT')

df = fc.read.option('isSorted', False).parquet('/test/SALECOUNT_OUT', time_column='ds')

Always throw error

ds is timestamp type .

timeColumnName is hard code in TimeSeriesRDD.scala ???

So, what is the usage of timeColumn ?

[dgrnbrg]

I think that timeColumn doesn't work, and you must always name it time. That's been my experience.
