Jason Dere commented on HIVE-10275: ----------------------------------- +1 > GenericUDF getTimestampValue should return Timestamp instead of Date > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-10275 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-10275 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: UDF > Reporter: Alexander Pivovarov > Assignee: Alexander Pivovarov > Attachments: HIVE-10275.1.patch > > > Currently getTimestampValue casts Timestamp to Date and returns Date. > Hive Timestamp type stores time with nanosecond precision. > Timestamp class has getNanos method to extract nanoseconds. > Date class has getTime method which returns unix time in milliseconds. > So, it order to be able to get nanoseconds from Timestamp fields > GenericUDF.getTimestampValue should return Timestamp instead of Date. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
