> Hive already supports LAST_DAY UDF, in some cases, FIRST_DAY is necessary to
> do date/timestamp related computation. This JIRA is to track such an
> implementation. Choose to impl TRUNC, a more standard way to get the first
> day of a a month, e.g., SELECT TRUNC('2009-01-12', 'MM') FROM src LIMIT 1;
> will return 2009-01-01
> BTW, this TRUNC is not as feature complete as aligned with Oracle one. 'MM'
> is the only format supported, however, it's a base to add on other formats.
