Szehon Ho commented on HIVE-5286:
---------------------------------
[~brocknoland], I am wondering what this test was trying to assert, that
2011-1-1 should be invalid to Hive? Hive uses java.sql.Date to parse dates, so
whatever is valid to Date, is valid for Hive, in the implementation.
It doesn't seem like we should make it invalid on purpose for backward
compatibility, now that Java7 supports dates of this format. So I am wondering
is this JIRA asking to find an equally invalid date format for Java6/7 for this
test then, or remove it?
> Negative test date_literal1.q fails on java7 because the syntax is valid
