Maxim Gekk 1fd9a91c66 [SPARK-31005][SQL] Support time zone ids in casting strings to timestamps
### What changes were proposed in this pull request?
In the PR, I propose to change `DateTimeUtils.stringToTimestamp` to support any valid time zone id at the end of input string. After the changes, the function accepts zone ids in the formats:
- no zone id. In that case, the function uses the local session time zone from the SQL config `spark.sql.session.timeZone`
- -[h]h:[m]m
- +[h]h:[m]m
- Z
- Short zone id, see https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/time/ZoneId.html#SHORT_IDS
- Zone ID starts with 'UTC+', 'UTC-', 'GMT+', 'GMT-', 'UT+' or 'UT-'. The ID is split in two, with a two or three letter prefix and a suffix starting with the sign. The suffix must be in the formats:
  - +|-h[h]
  - +|-hh[:]mm
  - +|-hh:mm:ss
  - +|-hhmmss
- Region-based zone IDs in the form `{area}/{city}`, such as `Europe/Paris` or `America/New_York`. The default set of region ids is supplied by the IANA Time Zone Database (TZDB).

### Why are the changes needed?
- To use `stringToTimestamp` as a substitution of removed `stringToTime`, see https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/27710#discussion_r385020173
- Improve UX of Spark SQL by allowing flexible formats of zone ids. Currently, Spark accepts only `Z` and zone offsets that can be inconvenient when a time zone offset is shifted due to daylight saving rules. For instance:
```sql
spark-sql> select cast('2015-03-18T12:03:17.123456 Europe/Moscow' as timestamp);
NULL
```

### Does this PR introduce any user-facing change?
Yes. After the changes, casting strings to timestamps allows time zone id at the end of the strings:
```sql
spark-sql> select cast('2015-03-18T12:03:17.123456 Europe/Moscow' as timestamp);
2015-03-18 12:03:17.123456
```

### How was this patch tested?
- Added new test cases to the `string to timestamp` test in `DateTimeUtilsSuite`.
- Run `CastSuite` and `AnsiCastSuite`.

Closes #27753 from MaxGekk/stringToTimestamp-uni-zoneId.

Apache Spark

Spark is a unified analytics engine for large-scale data processing. It provides high-level APIs in Scala, Java, Python, and R, and an optimized engine that supports general computation graphs for data analysis. It also supports a rich set of higher-level tools including Spark SQL for SQL and DataFrames, MLlib for machine learning, GraphX for graph processing, and Structured Streaming for stream processing.

Online Documentation

You can find the latest Spark documentation, including a programming guide, on the project web page. This README file only contains basic setup instructions.

Building Spark

Spark is built using Apache Maven. To build Spark and its example programs, run:

./build/mvn -DskipTests clean package

(You do not need to do this if you downloaded a pre-built package.)

More detailed documentation is available from the project site, at "Building Spark".

For general development tips, including info on developing Spark using an IDE, see "Useful Developer Tools".

Interactive Scala Shell

The easiest way to start using Spark is through the Scala shell:

./bin/spark-shell

Try the following command, which should return 1,000,000,000:

scala> spark.range(1000 * 1000 * 1000).count()

Interactive Python Shell

Alternatively, if you prefer Python, you can use the Python shell:

./bin/pyspark

And run the following command, which should also return 1,000,000,000:

>>> spark.range(1000 * 1000 * 1000).count()

Example Programs

Spark also comes with several sample programs in the examples directory. To run one of them, use ./bin/run-example <class> [params]. For example:

./bin/run-example SparkPi

will run the Pi example locally.

You can set the MASTER environment variable when running examples to submit examples to a cluster. This can be a mesos:// or spark:// URL, "yarn" to run on YARN, and "local" to run locally with one thread, or "local[N]" to run locally with N threads. You can also use an abbreviated class name if the class is in the examples package. For instance:

MASTER=spark://host:7077 ./bin/run-example SparkPi

Many of the example programs print usage help if no params are given.

Running Tests

Testing first requires building Spark. Once Spark is built, tests can be run using:

./dev/run-tests

Please see the guidance on how to run tests for a module, or individual tests.

There is also a Kubernetes integration test, see resource-managers/kubernetes/integration-tests/README.md

A Note About Hadoop Versions

Spark uses the Hadoop core library to talk to HDFS and other Hadoop-supported storage systems. Because the protocols have changed in different versions of Hadoop, you must build Spark against the same version that your cluster runs.

Please refer to the build documentation at "Specifying the Hadoop Version and Enabling YARN" for detailed guidance on building for a particular distribution of Hadoop, including building for particular Hive and Hive Thriftserver distributions.

Configuration

Please refer to the Configuration Guide in the online documentation for an overview on how to configure Spark.
