Consider the following rules and guidelines for data types:
Avro data types support:
Date, Decimal, and Timestamp data types are applicable when you run a mapping in the native environment or on the Spark engine in Cloudera CDH 6.1 distribution only.
Time data type is applicable when you run a mapping in the native environment in Cloudera CDH 6.1 distribution only.
Parquet data types support:
Date, Time, and Timestamp data types till micros are applicable when you run a mapping in the native environment and Spark engine in the CDH 6.1, HDP 3.1, and HDI 4.0 distributions.
Date and Timestamp data types till micros are applicable when you run a mapping on the Spark engine in the CDH 6.1, HDP 3.1, and HDI 4.0 distributions.
Date,Time_Millis and Timestamp_Millis data typesare applicable when you run a mapping in the native environment or Spark engine in the EMR 5.23, MapR6.1, and HDP 2.6 distributions.
Date and Timestamp_Millis data types are applicable when you run a mapping on the Spark engine in the EMR 5.23, MapR6.1, and HDP 2.6 distributions.
Decimal data types are applicable when you run a mapping in the native environment and Spark engine in Cloudera CDH 6.1, CDH 6.3, HDP 2.6, HDP 3.1, EMR 5.20, EMR 5.23, MapR 6.1, Dataproc 1.4 and HDI 4.0 distributions.
Date, Time, Timestamp, and Decimal data types are applicable when you run a mapping on the Databricks Spark engine.
When you run a mapping in the native environment and use Time data type in the source, the Data Integration Service writes incorrect date value to the target.
For example, Time data type used in the source:
1980-01-09 06:56:01.365235000
Incorrect Date value is generated in the target:
1899-12-31 06:56:01.365235000
When you run a mapping in the native environment and use Date data type in the source, the Data Integration Service writes incorrect time value to the target.
For example, Date data type used in the source:
1980-01-09 00:00:00
Incorrect Time value generated in the target:
1980-01-09 05:30:00
To run a mapping that reads and writes Date, Time, Timestamp, and Decimal data types, update the
