Inserting illegal timestamp behaves differently that in MySql
-------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HIVE-2557
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2557
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Robert Surówka
            Priority: Trivial


In MySql there is:

Illegal DATETIME, DATE, or TIMESTAMP values are converted to the "zero" value 
of the appropriate type ('0000-00-00 00:00:00' or '0000-00-00'). ( 
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/datetime.html ), yet in Hive we have 
e.g.:

hive> insert into table rrt select '1970-01-51 00:00:05' from src_copy limit 1;
hive> select * from rrt;
1970-02-20 00:00:05

It is probably something to be discussed whether to change it, but at least we 
should be aware of this current inconsistency, especially when documentation 
for timestamp will be added.
