Jason Dere updated HIVE-4800: ----------------------------- Description: During partition pruning the partition columns are treated as string values, even if the partition table was defined as being of type timestamp. If the user specifies a predicate with a Timestamp type, the comparison does not work correctly between the string and date types. For example: create table part1 ( c1 int, c2 string ) partitioned by (dt timestamp); insert overwrite table part1 partition(dt='2001-01-01 01:02:03') select key, value from src limit 2; -- This query returns no results select * from part1 where dt=timestamp('2001-01-01 01:02:03'); -- This query works fine select * from part1 where dt='2001-01-01 01:02:03'; A workaround is to simply not use the timestamp() function and simply compare the values as strings, as is done in the 2nd query. > Partition pruning doesn't work properly with timestamp type > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-4800 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-4800 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Types > Affects Versions: 0.11.0 > Reporter: Jason Dere > > During partition pruning the partition columns are treated as string values, > even if the partition table was defined as being of type timestamp.
