Summary: mask() UDF not retaining day and month field values Key: HIVE-13859 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-13859 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Components: UDF Affects Versions: 2.1.0 Reporter: Madhan Neethiraj Fix For: 2.1.0 For date type parameters, mask() UDF replaces year/month/day field values with the values given in arguments to the UDF. Argument value -1 is treated as special, to specify that mask() should retain the value in the parameter. This allows to selectively mask only year/month/day fields. Specifying "-1" does not retain the values for day/month fields; however the year value is retained, as shown below. {code} 0: jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000> select id, join_date from employee where id < 4; +-----+-------------+--+ | id | join_date | +-----+-------------+--+ | 1 | 2012-01-01 | | 2 | 2014-02-01 | | 3 | 2013-03-01 | +-----+-------------+--+ 3 rows selected (0.435 seconds) 0: jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000> select id, mask(join_date, -1, -1, -1, -1,-1, -1,-1,-1) join_date from employee where id < 4; +-----+-------------+--+ | id | join_date | +-----+-------------+--+ | 1 | 2012-01-01 | | 2 | 2014-01-01 | | 3 | 2013-01-01 | +-----+-------------+--+ 3 rows selected (0.344 seconds) {code} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
