Aihua Xu commented on HIVE-12196:
---------------------------------
Simple fix which will check the value after the conversion. If it's null,
return null. So if the timestamp is not correct, it will generate a null value.
> NPE when converting bad timestamp value

> When I convert a timestamp value that is slightly wrong, the result is a NPE.
> Other queries correctly reject the timestamp:
> {code}
> hive> select from_utc_timestamp('2015-04-11-12:24:34.535', 'UTC');
> FAILED: NullPointerException null
> hive> select TIMESTAMP '2015-04-11-12:24:34.535';
> FAILED: SemanticException Unable to convert time literal
> '2015-04-11-12:24:34.535' to time value.
> {code}
