Description
Is there an efficient way to truncate a Series by month / quarter in cuDF?
https://docs.rapids.ai/api/cudf/latest/user_guide/api_docs/api/cudf.core.series.datetimeproperties.floor/ dt.floor doesn't support month / year / quarter
In pandas I can either, depending on the dtype backend:
- drop to numpy and use `astype('datetime64["3M"]'))`
- drop to PyArrow and use `pc.floor_temporal`
Any suggestion for cuDF?
Example: given
```python
import cudf
from datetime import datetime
s = cudf.Series([datetime(2020, 2, 4)])
s.dt.truncate('3 months') # Not valid syntax, I know :)
```
I'd like to end up with
```
'2020-01-01'
```
