Apache Spark reassigned SPARK-27638:
------------------------------------
Assignee: Apache Spark
> date format yyyy-M-dd string comparison not handled properly
> -------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-27638
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-27638
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: SQL
> Affects Versions: 2.4.2
> Reporter: peng bo
> Assignee: Apache Spark
> Priority: Major
>
> The below example works with both Mysql and Hive, however not with spark.
> {code:java}
> mysql> select * from date_test where date_col >= '2000-1-1';
> +------------+
> | date_col |
> +------------+
> | 2000-01-01 |
> +------------+
> {code}
> The reason is that Spark casts both sides to String type during date and
> string comparison for partial date support. Please find more details in
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-8420.
> Based on some tests, the behavior of Date and String comparison in Hive and
> Mysql:
> Hive: Cast to Date, partial date is not supported
> Mysql: Cast to Date, certain "partial date" is supported by defining certain
> date string parse rules. Check out {{str_to_datetime}} in
> https://github.com/mysql/mysql-server/blob/5.5/sql-common/my_time.c
> Here's 2 proposals:
> a. Follow Mysql parse rule, but some partial date string comparison cases
> won't be supported either.
> b. Cast String value to Date, if it passes use date.toString, original string
> otherwise.
