Hi, i build a data processing using neo4j-spark-connector(v 2.1.0-M4). until now i used neo4j 3.3 and everything works fine. i need to improve this process now, and for do it i need to use neo4j 3.4.5 features(datetime field) - part of the code: val date = Calendar.getInstance() date.add(Calendar.DATE, -30) date.set(Calendar.HOUR\_OF\_DAY, 0) date.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0) date.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0) date.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0) val d = ZonedDateTime.ofInstant(date.toInstant(), ZoneId.of(("UTC"))) val map = Map("date" -\> d) neo4j.cypher(relevanceQuery, map) the map works because if i put long parameters it works. the error i get: org.neo4j.driver.v1.exceptions.ClientException: Unable to convert java.time.ZonedDateTime to Neo4j Value. hope someone will help, thanks, Niv. ---

Sorry I ran into a number of build errors as part of the update, that have to be fixed first. ---

maybe you have some estimation? i changed all date properties to work with the new date type(before 3.4 the properties were just a long number), and now i'm a little bit stuck because of it :\ , cant upload new sprint to production. thanks, Niv. ---

It would be good to have some time to work through some of the other open issues and suggestions, but I'm afraid I won't have the capacity right now. ---

Something that would help me tremendously would be some other folks describing / documenting how they use the connector. So if you have a few minutes at some time I would very much appreciate a blog post explaining how you use it and also feedback on what could be improved. ---
