Gopal V created HIVE-20622: ------------------------------ Summary: Backwards Compat: Support non-zero padded date and timestamp entries Key: HIVE-20622 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-20622 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Gopal V
The Date spec in Hive says https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+Types#LanguageManualTypes-date {noformat} DATE values describe a particular year/month/day, in the form YYYY-MM-DD. For example, DATE '2013-01-01' {noformat} Even though the Hive date & timestamp spec are strict on their format specification, Hive has previously supported " yyyy-[m]m-[d]d" formatted dates and it is better to expand the spec rather than drop this compatibility. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
