Dear Team, I have started using Drill recently (a couple of weeks now). I am using Drill 1.8 version on a 3 node cluster (MapR community edition). I have some data stored in Hive tables in Parquet format. When I am reading this Parquet data using Drill queries I am facing problem for attributes which are stored in DATE & TIMESTAMP data types. Basically, I can't see the correct data values which I loaded in the table while querying using Drill. But if I read data using Hive, I can see correct data without any issues.
I have explained the problem in detail on MapR community, please refer link - https://community.mapr.com/thread/18883-getting-weird-output-for-date-timestamp-data-type-columns-while-selecting-data-from-parquet-file-in-drill I understood that for TIMESTAMP I can use the CONVERT_FROM function to get correct value but not still sure about DATE values. Can you help/guide me to read correct DATE stored in Parquet using Drill query? I do not want to store DATE in string format as I am sure next Drill versions will surely support reading DATE from Parquet data. Thanks in advance! Amarnath Vibhute
