Brock Noland commented on HIVE-3454: ------------------------------------ Have we tested this as part of an MR job? I don't think that the hive-site.xml is shipped as part of MR jobs. If that is true, how about we do as follows: 1) Add method {{public static void initialize(Configuration)}} to {{TimestampWritable}} 2) Call this method from {{AbstractSerDe.initialize}} which should be called, with configuration, in all the right places. 3) In {{TimestampWritable.Configuration}} you can use the static {{HiveCon.getBoolVar}} a bit kludgy but it should work. This all assuming the current impl doesn't work. bq. "timestamp conversion." I think we need a space after this. > Problem with CAST(BIGINT as TIMESTAMP) > -------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-3454 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3454 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Types, UDF > Affects Versions: 0.8.0, 0.8.1, 0.9.0, 0.10.0, 0.11.0, 0.12.0, 0.13.0, > 0.13.1 > Reporter: Ryan Harris > Assignee: Aihua Xu > Labels: newbie, newdev, patch > Attachments: HIVE-3454.1.patch.txt, HIVE-3454.2.patch, > HIVE-3454.3.patch, HIVE-3454.3.patch, HIVE-3454.patch > > > Ran into an issue while working with timestamp conversion. > CAST(unix_timestamp() as TIMESTAMP) should create a timestamp for the current > time from the BIGINT returned by unix_timestamp() > Instead, however, a 1970-01-16 timestamp is returned. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
