> The below query from drill produces wrong results because unix_timestamp (function from hive) returns the value in seconds while to_date treats its input in milliseconds.
> {code}
> select to_date(unix_timestamp('1998-05-06', 'yyyy-MM-dd')) from dummy limit 1;
> +-------------+
> |   EXPR$0    |
> +-------------+
> | 1970-01-11  |
> +-------------+
> {code} 
> In order to make this work we should use the below query
> {code}
> select to_date(unix_timestamp('1998-05-06', 'yyyy-MM-dd')*1000) from dummy limit 1;
> +-------------+
> |   EXPR$0    |
> +-------------+
> | 1998-05-06  |
> +-------------+
> {code}
> If this is not a bug on drill's side, we should atleast document this
