Hi fabric_1,

 

Delta Lake protocol Writer Version 7+ introduces new features that require explicit declaration of feature usage. One such feature is TimestampWithoutTimezone.

Even though you've localized the timestamp to remove timezone, Delta Lake still expects you to declare that you're using timezone-less timestamps explicitly in the write_features parameter.

 

If you are writing timestamp columns frequently and want to future-proof your pipeline:

Always set write_features = ["TimestampWithoutTimezone"] when using writer version ≥ 7.

 

 

 

Thanks,

Prashanth Are

Thanks v-prasare, How do we actually specify it in the notebook?

 

I tried write_features = ["TimestampWithoutTimezone"], this still doesn't seem to work.
