java.util.Date should not be converted to spanner Date type

[dmitry-s]

java.util.Date represents an instant in time, with millisecond precision, while Spanner Date represents a date without time.

java.util.Date represents an instant in time, with millisecond precision, while Spanner Date represents a date without time.

So, we have to use Timestamp as a column in spanner Database for java.util.Date in Entity and we are forced to use com.google.cloud.Date as a type in Entity if we want to put column type as Date. Please let me know if my understanding is correct. I guess this is the current condition after current patch for Timestamp fix.

LocalDateTime seems to be the perfect match for the Spanner DATE. Both are just dates with no timezone.

Thanks @meltsufin . I guess that makes sense. But, Spanner date represents a logical calendar date. LocalDate makes more sense to me in terms of perfect match. What do you think?

@ayancancode You're absolutely right, I meant to say LocalDate.
