Current Behavior

When calling DQProfiler.profile_table() with options={"round": False} on a Delta table that contains datetime.datetime.max values, the profiler crashes with:

OverflowError: date value out of range

This happens in _round_datetime during profiling. The round=False option is also ignored due to a logic bug in the code.

Relevant traceback:

  File .../profiler.py, line 680, in DQProfiler._round_datetime
    return value.replace(hour=0, minute=0, second=0, microsecond=0) + datetime.timedelta(days=1)
OverflowError: date value out of range

Root causes:

1. _get_min_max() receives the opts dictionary, but does not pass it to _adjust_min_max_limits(). As a result, _round_value() always uses opts={"round": True}, even when the user specifies round=False.

2. _round_datetime() does not safely handle values near datetime.datetime.max, causing overflow when attempting to round “up”.

Expected Behavior

• options={"round": False} should prevent all rounding, including datetime rounding, throughout the profiling logic.
• If a value is datetime.max, rounding logic should detect this and avoid performing + timedelta(days=1) that results in overflow.
• Ideally, the function should cap values at datetime.max or log a warning, rather than fail.

Suggested Fixes

• Propagate opts to _adjust_min_max_limits() to respect user config.
• Update _round_datetime() to detect near-overflow conditions and skip rounding or cap safely.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Create a Delta table with a timestamp column containing a value equal to or close to datetime.datetime.max:

   import datetime
   from pyspark.sql import SparkSession
   
   spark = SparkSession.builder.getOrCreate()
   
   df = spark.createDataFrame([
       (datetime.datetime.max.replace(microsecond=0),),
   ], ["_end_date"])
   
   df.write.format("delta").mode("overwrite").saveAsTable("your_catalog.your_schema.your_table")

2. Use databricks.labs.dqx to profile this table, specifying options={"round": False}:

   from databricks.labs.dqx import DQProfiler
   from databricks.sdk import WorkspaceClient
   
   ws = WorkspaceClient()
   profiler = DQProfiler(ws)
   
   summary_stats, profiles = profiler.profile_table(
       table="your_catalog.your_schema.your_table",
       columns=["_end_date"],
       options={"round": False}
   )
