Hi, I have a question regarding the existing date functions in Hive ( http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Hive/LanguageManual/UDF#Date_Functions)
The unix_timestamp() functions return a bigint while the from_unixtime() accepts an int. I don't think that's the right thing to do ? the from_unixtime should accept a bigint so that you can use both functions as a nested operation. i.e. from_unixtime(unix_timestamp(<datestring>,<pattern>)) Thanks, Viral
