Spark SQL between timestamp on where clause?
<p>I'm trying to return the rows between two timestamps using DataFrame API.</p>

<p><strong>Sample code is:</strong></p>

<pre><code>val df = Seq(
    ("red", "2016-11-29 07:10:10.234"),
    ("green", "2016-11-29 07:10:10.234"),
    ("blue", "2016-11-29 07:10:10.234")).toDF("color", "date")

  df.where(unix_timestamp($"date", "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.S").cast("timestamp").between(LocalDateTime.now(), LocalDateTime.now().minusHours(1))).show()
</code></pre>

<p>But it's throwing Unsupported literal type class java.time.LocalDateTime error.</p>

<pre><code>Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: Unsupported literal type class java.time.LocalDateTime 2016-11-29T07:32:12.084
