Hive date_trunc函数

The function date_trunc is conceptually similar to the trunc function for numbers.

 

date_trunc('field', source)

source is a value expression of type timestamp or interval. (Values of type date and time are cast automatically, to timestamp or interval respectively.) field selects to which precision to truncate the input value. The return value is of type timestamp or interval with all fields that are less significant than the selected one set to zero (or one, for day and month).

Valid values for field are:

 

microseconds

milliseconds

second

minute

hour

day

week

month

quarter

year

decade

century

millennium

SELECT date_trunc('hour', TIMESTAMP '2001-02-16 20:38:40');
