             Summary: date_add of a timestamp returning a string representation 
of the date portion
                 Key: HIVE-3196
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3196
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: SQL
    Affects Versions: 0.8.0
            Reporter: N Campbell


the following expressions are expected to derive a new timestamp where the 
input has been incremented by n days. The resulting value is a string 
representation of the date portion (time component truncated)

select date_add(cast(from_unixtime(unix_timestamp()) as timestamp), 5) from 
cert.tversion

select date_add(from_unixtime(unix_timestamp()), 5) from cert.tversion

the apache docs do not clarify if the is an implicit type conversion to date or 
the docs need updating to day they will support a timestamp type as an input 
(which I would expect given the claim to offer timestamp types).
