Maxim Gekk commented on SPARK-27638:
------------------------------------
It works with explicit to_date:
{code:scala}
scala> val ds = spark.range(1).selectExpr("date '2000-01-01' as d")
ds: org.apache.spark.sql.DataFrame = [d: date]
scala> ds.where("d >= to_date('2000-1-1')").show
+----------+
| d|
+----------+
|2000-01-01|
+----------+
{code}
but with to_date, it compares strings:
{code}
scala> ds.where("d >= '2000-1-1'").explain(true)
== Parsed Logical Plan ==
'Filter ('d >= 2000-1-1)
+- Project [10957 AS d#51]
+- Range (0, 1, step=1, splits=Some(8))
== Analyzed Logical Plan ==
d: date
Filter (cast(d#51 as string) >= 2000-1-1)
+- Project [10957 AS d#51]
+- Range (0, 1, step=1, splits=Some(8))
== Optimized Logical Plan ==
LocalRelation <empty>, [d#51]
== Physical Plan ==
LocalTableScan <empty>, [d#51]
{code}
> date format yyyy-M-dd string comparison not handled properly

> Key: SPARK-27638
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-27638
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: SQL
> Affects Versions: 2.4.2
> Reporter: peng bo
> Priority: Major
>
> The below example works with both Mysql and Hive, however not with spark.
> {code:java}
> mysql> select * from date_test where date_col >= '2000-1-1';
> +------------+
> | date_col |
> +------------+
> | 2000-01-01 |
> +------------+
> {code}
> The reason is that Spark casts both sides to String type during date and
> string comparison for partial date support. Please find more details in
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-8420.
> Based on some tests, the behavior of Date and String comparison in Hive and
> Mysql:
> Hive: Cast to Date, partial date is not supported
> Spark: Cast to Date, certain "partial date" is supported by defining certain
> date string parse rules. Check out {{str_to_datetime}} in
> https://github.com/mysql/mysql-server/blob/5.5/sql-common/my_time.c
> Here's 2 proposals:
> a. Follow Mysql parse rule, but some partial date string comparison cases
> won't be supported either.
> b. Cast String value to Date, if it passes use date.toString, original string
> otherwise.
