-------------------------------------

             Summary: SqlFunctions#addMonths yields incorrect results in some 
corner case
                 Key: CALCITE-3881
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-3881
             Project: Calcite
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: avatica
    Affects Versions: avatica-1.16.0
            Reporter: Zhenghua Gao


SqlFunctions#addMonths use DateTimeUtils#ymdToUnixDate to calculate the 
JDN(julian day number). But in some corner cases it yields incorrent results. 
The root cause is: the algorithm of DateTimeUtils#ymdToUnixDate requires 
reasonable month(1 to 12)[1], but SqlFunctions#addMonths may pass in a month 
out of the reasonable range.

BTW: I didn't find the reference of the original paper of the algorithm, but an 
jdn explanation. Please correct me if anyone can find the original paper.

 

The following case can reproduce the bug:
{code:java}
@Test public void testAddMonths() { 
  checkAddMonths(2019, 9, 1, 2020, 3, 1, 6); 
} {code}
