Zoltan Ivanfi created HIVE-21117: ------------------------------------ Summary: A day may belong to a different year than the week it is a part of Key: HIVE-21117 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-21117 Project: Hive Issue Type: New Feature Affects Versions: 2.3.4 Reporter: Zoltan Ivanfi
When using the year() and weekofyear() functions in a query, their result is 2018 and 1 (respectively) for the day '2018-12-31'. The year() function returns 2018 for the input '2018-12-31', because that day belongs to the year 2018. The weekofyear() functions returns 1 for the input '2018-12-31', because that day belongs to the first week of 2019. Both functions provide sensible results on their own, but when combined, the result is wrong, because '2018-12-31' does not belong to week 1 of 2018. I suggest adding a new function yearofweek() and adding a warning to the documentation of the weekofyear() function about this problem. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
