-------------------------------------
Summary: Usability issues with weekofyear()
Key: SPARK-20771
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-20771
Project: Spark
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: SQL
Affects Versions: 2.2.0
Reporter: Xiangrui Meng
Priority: Minor
The weekofyear() implementation follows HIVE / ISO 8601 week number. However it
is not useful because it doesn't return the year of the week start. For example,
weekofyear("2017-01-01") returns 52
Anyone using this with groupBy('week) might do the aggregation wrong. A better
implementation should return the year number of the week as well.
MySQL's yearweek() is much better in this sense:
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/date-and-time-functions.html#function_yearweek.
Maybe we should implement that in Spark.
