Karen Coppage commented on HIVE-22099:
--------------------------------------
Looks great! One comment: testJulianDates() needs a @Test annotation.
(Side note, if we really want to avoid backwards incompatibility with formats
then
[here|https://www.codota.com/web/assistant/code/rs/5c6692451095a50001d0175a#L90]
is a way to avoid it. That said, switching to the java.time.DateTimeFormatter
is a *much* better solution in the long run.)

>
> Currently dates that belong to Julian calendar (before Oct 15, 1582) are
> handled improperly by DateFormat UDF:
> Although the dates are in Julian calendar, the formatter insists to print
> these according to Gregorian calendar causing multiple days of difference in
> some cases:
>
> {code:java}
> beeline> select date_format('1001-01-05','dd---MM--yyyy');
