Validate date format in a dataframe column in pyspark
问题 I have a dataframe with column as Date along with few other columns. I wanted to validate Date column value and check if the format is of "dd/MM/yyyy". If Date column holds any other format than should mark it as bad record. So I am using option option("dateFormat", "dd/MM/yyyy") to accept date in mentioned format and it accepts the date properly in format "dd/MM/yyyy", but if I pass invalid format (YYYY/mm/dd) still record is not marking as invalid and passed date is converting to garbage
