Return Type | Name(Signature) | Description |
---|---|---|
string | from_unixtime(bigint unixtime[, string format]) | Converts the number of seconds from unix epoch (1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC) to a string representing the timestamp of that moment in the current system time zone in the format of "1970-01-01 00:00:00". |
bigint | unix_timestamp() | Gets current Unix timestamp in seconds. This function is non-deterministic and prevents proper optimization of queries - this has been deprecated since 2.0 in favour of CURRENT_TIMESTAMP constant. |
bigint | unix_timestamp(string date) | Converts time string in format |
bigint | unix_timestamp(string date, string pattern) | Convert time string with given pattern (see [http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/i18n/format/simpleDateFormat.html]) to Unix time stamp (in seconds), return 0 if fail: unix_timestamp('2009-03-20', 'yyyy-MM-dd') = 1237532400. |
pre 2.1.0: string 2.1.0 on: date | to_date(string timestamp) | Returns the date part of a timestamp string (pre-Hive 2.1.0): to_date("1970-01-01 00:00:00") = "1970-01-01". As of Hive 2.1.0, returns a date object. Prior to Hive 2.1.0 (HIVE-13248) the return type was a String because no Date type existed when the method was created. |
int | year(string date) | Returns the year part of a date or a timestamp string: year("1970-01-01 00:00:00") = 1970, year("1970-01-01") = 1970. |
int | quarter(date/timestamp/string) | Returns the quarter of the year for a date, timestamp, or string in the range 1 to 4 (as of Hive 1.3.0). Example: quarter('2015-04-08') = 2. |
int | month(string date) | Returns the month part of a date or a timestamp string: month("1970-11-01 00:00:00") = 11, month("1970-11-01") = 11. |
int | day(string date) dayofmonth(date) | Returns the day part of a date or a timestamp string: day("1970-11-01 00:00:00") = 1, day("1970-11-01") = 1. |
int | hour(string date) | Returns the hour of the timestamp: hour('2009-07-30 12:58:59') = 12, hour('12:58:59') = 12. |
int | minute(string date) | Returns the minute of the timestamp. |
int | second(string date) | Returns the second of the timestamp. |
int | weekofyear(string date) | Returns the week number of a timestamp string: weekofyear("1970-11-01 00:00:00") = 44, weekofyear("1970-11-01") = 44. |
int | extract(field FROM source) | Retrieve fields such as days or hours from source (as of Hive 2.2.0). Source must be a date, timestamp, interval or a string that can be converted into either a date or timestamp. Supported fields include: day, dayofweek, hour, minute, month, quarter, second, week and year. Examples:
|
int | datediff(string enddate, string startdate) | Returns the number of days from startdate to enddate: datediff('2009-03-01', '2009-02-27') = 2. |
pre 2.1.0: string 2.1.0 on: date | date_add(string startdate, int days) | Adds a number of days to startdate: date_add('2008-12-31', 1) = '2009-01-01'. Prior to Hive 2.1.0 (HIVE-13248) the return type was a String because no Date type existed when the method was created. |
pre 2.1.0: string 2.1.0 on: date | date_sub(string startdate, int days) | Subtracts a number of days to startdate: date_sub('2008-12-31', 1) = '2008-12-30'. Prior to Hive 2.1.0 (HIVE-13248) the return type was a String because no Date type existed when the method was created. |
timestamp | from_utc_timestamp(timestamp, string timezone) | Assumes given timestamp is UTC and converts to given timezone (as of Hive 0.8.0). For example, from_utc_timestamp('1970-01-01 08:00:00','PST') returns 1970-01-01 00:00:00. |
timestamp | to_utc_timestamp(timestamp, string timezone) | Assumes given timestamp is in given timezone and converts to UTC (as of Hive 0.8.0). For example, to_utc_timestamp('1970-01-01 00:00:00','PST') returns 1970-01-01 08:00:00. |
date | current_date | Returns the current date at the start of query evaluation (as of Hive 1.2.0). All calls of current_date within the same query return the same value. |
timestamp | current_timestamp | Returns the current timestamp at the start of query evaluation (as of Hive 1.2.0). All calls of current_timestamp within the same query return the same value. |
string | add_months(string start_date, int num_months) | Returns the date that is num_months after start_date (as of Hive 1.1.0). start_date is a string, date or timestamp. num_months is an integer. The time part of start_date is ignored. If start_date is the last day of the month or if the resulting month has fewer days than the day component of start_date, then the result is the last day of the resulting month. Otherwise, the result has the same day component as start_date. |
string | last_day(string date) | Returns the last day of the month which the date belongs to (as of Hive 1.1.0). date is a string in the format 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss' or 'yyyy-MM-dd'. The time part of date is ignored. |
string | next_day(string start_date, string day_of_week) | Returns the first date which is later than start_date and named as day_of_week (as of Hive 1.2.0). start_date is a string/date/timestamp. day_of_week is 2 letters, 3 letters or full name of the day of the week (e.g. Mo, tue, FRIDAY). The time part of start_date is ignored. Example: next_day('2015-01-14', 'TU') = 2015-01-20. |
string | trunc(string date, string format) | Returns date truncated to the unit specified by the format (as of Hive 1.2.0). Supported formats: MONTH/MON/MM, YEAR/YYYY/YY. Example: trunc('2015-03-17', 'MM') = 2015-03-01. |
double | months_between(date1, date2) | Returns number of months between dates date1 and date2 (as of Hive 1.2.0). If date1 is later than date2, then the result is positive. If date1 is earlier than date2, then the result is negative. If date1 and date2 are either the same days of the month or both last days of months, then the result is always an integer. Otherwise the UDF calculates the fractional portion of the result based on a 31-day month and considers the difference in time components date1 and date2. date1 and date2 type can be date, timestamp or string in the format 'yyyy-MM-dd' or 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss'. The result is rounded to 8 decimal places. Example: months_between('1997-02-28 10:30:00', '1996-10-30') = 3.94959677 |
string | date_format(date/timestamp/string ts, string fmt) | Converts a date/timestamp/string to a value of string in the format specified by the date format fmt (as of Hive 1.2.0). Supported formats are Java SimpleDateFormat formats – https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html. The second argument fmt should be constant. Example: date_format('2015-04-08', 'y') = '2015'. date_format can be used to implement other UDFs, e.g.:
