Richard Nadeau commented on HIVE-3454: -------------------------------------- Additional information/workaround: This looks like a nanosecond bug similar to HIVE-3090, so I tried this: cast((unix_timestamp() * 1.0) as TIMESTAMP) and got this: 2012-09-17 14:49:39.0 Which is what it should be, but I would have expected this to be handled without the "conversion". cast(round(unix_timestamp(),3) as TIMESTAMP) Will also work. > Problem with CAST(BIGINT as TIMESTAMP) > -------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-3454 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3454 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Types, UDF > Affects Versions: 0.9.0 > Reporter: Ryan Harris > > Ran into an issue while working with timestamp conversion. > CAST(unix_timestamp() as TIMESTAMP) should create a timestamp for the current > time from the BIGINT returned by unix_timestamp() > Instead, however, a 1970-01-16 timestamp is returned. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
