Navis commented on HIVE-3454: ----------------------------- unix_timestamp() returns seconds but Timestamp expects millisecond value if input type is integer or long. I think you should multiply the value with 1000 for proper converting. > 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.
