    I am importing from a parquet file, and have not been able to change the text date into a date.
    Also, how does iceberg deal with nil dates?

    Hi John,

    My apologies for the long delay in responding, I missed your question. Were you able to get a response from one of your colleagues?

    Thanks,

    Nick

    Nickolus, I got a response, they said the parquet ingester needed some work. I does not handle dates correctly.

    To import a date from a splice file and convert it to a date format, you need to first determine the location and format of the date in the splice file.
    If there is a zero date, you can handle it by adding a condition. For example, replace a zero date with a specific date
