Bennie Schut commented on HIVE-3299:
------------------------------------
I would like you to reconsider adding this patch. Historically we add
functionality similar to mysql and this function is available in mysql:
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/date-and-time-functions.html#function_dayname
Now granted we can easily workaround it but that would mean we stop taking
mysql as our target.
