Dong Jiang commented on SPARK-23549:
------------------------------------
[~kiszk], I expect your query to return false, as presto/Athena does.
A date in SQL is typically thought of equivalent to timestamp at 00:00:00
> Spark SQL unexpected behavior when comparing timestamp to date

> Key: SPARK-23549
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-23549
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: SQL
> Affects Versions: 2.2.1
> Reporter: Dong Jiang
> Priority: Major
>
> {code:java}
> scala> spark.version
> res1: String = 2.2.1
> scala> spark.sql("select cast('2017-03-01 00:00:00' as timestamp) between
> cast('2017-02-28' as date) and cast('2017-03-01' as date)").show

> As shown above, when a timestamp is compared to date in SparkSQL, both
> timestamp and date are downcast to string, and leading to unexpected result.
> If run the same SQL in presto/Athena, I got the expected result
> {code:java}
> select cast('2017-03-01 00:00:00' as timestamp) between cast('2017-02-28' as
> date) and cast('2017-03-01' as date)
> _col0
> 1 true
> {code}
> Is this a bug for Spark or a feature?
