Shaofeng SHI commented on KYLIN-1698:
-------------------------------------
In my opinion this is an ETL issue. Converting milli-second to a Date isn't a
difficult thing, why not do that when saving to Hive?
User may have many ways to represent a date: milli second, second, minute,
hour, day, string, or separating day/month/year in multiple columns, etc;
Converting them to a standard format like DATE/Timestamp is the recommended
way; otherwise it will be Kylin's burden to handle various cases.
> Allow bigint(long) as a date partition column

> Project: Kylin
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: v1.5.1
> Reporter: guohuili
>
> In many cases, hive tables may use long / bigint as date column. Currently
> Kylin only support 'yyyy-MM-dd' or 'yyyyMMdd' as date format. This jira is to
> support long / bigint format.
