" Review comment: Personally, I am in favor of using the new API. However, I am sure that a user/client will discover that they get different results and may come back to us complaining about it. Still I think it is a good idea to use the new `DateTimeFormatter` so I would suggest to clearly indicate this small change of behavior in the JIRA and move forward. Other than that since we are enhancing the API of `date_format` we should probably consider adding a few more tests in `TestGenericUDFDateFormat` with the supported patterns (could be done in a follow up I guess). -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
