Jason Dere commented on HIVE-3910: ---------------------------------- Ok, got the date conversion working without the need for the Joda Time library. I'll remove the Joda dependency in my next version of the patch for HIVE-4055. > Create a new DATE datatype > -------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-3910 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3910 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Task > Reporter: Namit Jain > Attachments: HIVE-3910.1.patch > > > It might be useful to have a DATE datatype along with timestamp. > This can only store the day (possibly number of days from 1970-01-01, > and would thus give space savings in binary format). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
