             Summary: Add the to_time() function
                 Key: SPARK-51456
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-51456
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: SQL
    Affects Versions: 4.1.0
            Reporter: Max Gekk


The new function *to_time()* should return expr cast to a timestamp using an 
optional formatting.

h4. Syntax

{code:sql}
to_time(expr [, fmt] )
{code}

h4. Arguments
* expr: A STRING expression representing a time.
* fmt: An optional format STRING expression.
h4. Returns
h4. A TIME(n). If n where n is derived from fmt.

If fmt is supplied, it must conform with Datetime patterns.

If fmt is not supplied, the function is a synonym for cast(expr AS TIME).

If fmt is malformed or its application does not result in a well formed time, 
the function raises an error.

To return NULL instead of an error in case of a malformed expr use try_to_time.
h4. Examples

{code:sql}
> SELECT to_time('00:12:00');
 00:12:00

> SELECT to_time('12.10.05', 'hh.mm.ss');
 12:10:05
{code}
