[jira] [Created] (HIVE-13248) Change date_add/date_sub/to_date functions to return Date type rather than String

Jason Dere created HIVE-13248:
---------------------------------

             Summary: Change date_add/date_sub/to_date functions to return Date type rather than String
                 Key: HIVE-13248
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-13248
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: UDF
            Reporter: Jason Dere
            Assignee: Jason Dere


Some of the original "date" related functions return string values rather than Date values, because they were created before the Date type existed in Hive. We can try to change these to return Date in the 2.x line.

Date values should be implicitly convertible to String.
