Good afternoon,

Attempting to run this statement:

%sql 
CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE IF NOT EXISTS dev_user_login (
  event_name STRING,
  datetime TIMESTAMP,
  ip_address STRING,
  acting_user_id STRING
)
PARTITIONED BY
  (date DATE)
STORED AS 
  PARQUET
LOCATION
  "/mnt/bi-dev-data/warehouse/users.loggedIn"

I get the following error message:

Error in SQL statement: QueryExecutionException: FAILED: Execution Error, return code 1 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.DDLTask. java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Parquet does not support timestamp. See HIVE-6384

However, when I check HIVE-6384 (Implement all datatypes in Parquet) I see it was resolved some time ago.

Is Databricks still on a version of Hive that has yet to support Timestamps in parquet? Any help would be appreciated. I tried this in both 1.4 and 1.5 experimental.

Many thanks.
