This change seems correct to me, the previous behavior for this was to assume the value was in microseconds and then pass that through to TimestampLiteral but that can overflow and does not actually represent a nanosecond timestamp!

FWIW I still think this is correct but it's worth getting other's perspective on this since we are changing one of the assumptions of how value is interpreted when the type to convert to is nanoseconds.

CC @nastra @epgif @jacobmarble @rdblue thoughts?

I think both before and after this change is correct. In Iceberg we had the assumption that everything is in microseconds. But this doesn't hold anymore now we have nano's. I do think the version after the change is more correct and more closely aligns with my expectations. If we can make sure that folks are not using this yet, I think this change is a good one 👍

I had a chat with @rdblue who reviewed the PR that introduced this, and it is actually on purpose. Spark always passes in microseconds, changing this would break this assumption with Spark. So I think we have to revert this line. That said, I do think we need to check (and raise an error) when it overflows. Easiest way of doing this is by converting it to nano's, and convert is back to micro's and check if it still the same value.

Thank you for sharing the context. What about other query engines? Actually, I found this issue when I was trying to support nanosecond precision in Trino Iceberg connector. As you may know, the max precision in Trino is picos (12).

I'm a bit confused how the original assertion was passing? Shouldn't have this always been equivalent to {-128, 26, 6, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}?

I think the cause is the original logic called DateTimeUtil.microsToNanos method which multiples the value by 1000:

case TIMESTAMP_NANO:
return (Literal<T>) new TimestampNanoLiteral(DateTimeUtil.microsToNanos(value()));

Ah I see the comment on line 107/108. Could we update the assertConversion to instead test against 400000L and then remove the comment. At this point we are no longer having to pass in different values since we Literal.of(someLong).to(TimestampNanos) will always interpret someLong as nanoseconds.
