Aihua Xu updated HIVE-3454:
---------------------------
Release Note:
The behaviors of converting from BOOLEAN/TINYINT/SMALLINT/INT/BIGINT and
converting from FLOAT/DOUBLE to TIMESTAMP have been inconsistent. The value of
a BOOLEAN/TINYINT/SMALLINT/INT/BIGINT is treated as the time in milliseconds
while the value of a FLOAT/DOUBLE is treated as the time in seconds.
With the change of HIVE-3454, we support an additional configuration
"hive.int.timestamp.conversion.in.seconds" to enable the interpretation the
BOOLEAN/BYTE/SHORT/INT/BIGINT value in seconds during the timestamp conversion
without breaking the existing customers. By default, the existing functionality
is kept.

> 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.
