@rdblue The idea of creating multi level partitions is that when a user queries he or she doesnt need to know how it has been partitioned. Since a partition was created on date based on timestamp, the expectation is that it should match the exact date value without having any timestamps. Consider a business case that I buy a product at 11:05am today dated '2023-02-16' its timestamp would be say for example '2023-02-06 11:05:45'. Even though it is not '2023-02-06 00:00:00' when an analyst tries to query who are and all brought products on '2023-02-06' my record should be displayed if not then its a bug! Idea of creating/specifying date based partition on timestamp is that when a corresponding date is provided without time, end user should get the result. If not then its a falw. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service. To respond to the message, please log on to GitHub and use the URL above to go to the specific comment.
