I would like to convert a spark dataframe string column of 'yyyyMMdd' to date format with spark session (spark) - not spark context.



Since I'm not working with spark context (sc), I cannot use the following code, although it would precisly do what I'd like it to do:



.withColumn("column1",DF.to_date(F.col("column1"),"yyyyMMdd"))


As I do not want to convert the column to timestamp, I also don't want to use the following code:



.withColumn("column1", unix_timestamp(col("column1"), "yyyyMMdd").cast("timestamp"))


The final goal is to replace the former string column by the date formatted column.



Many thanks in advance!
