【Hive】日期从整形转为Date类型
在建表的时候我们常将日期字段设置为INT类型，将诸如20180601这样的数字值来表示日期，这样在做日期比较等操作时没有问题，但是要进行某些日期计算，就要先转成日期类型才能进行计算了，怎么转换呢？
数据准备
下面在Hive中先建一个表，含有一个INT类型的日期字段，插入两行数据。
create table tb (dt INT);
insert into tb values (20180701);
insert into tb values (20180715);转换类型
这里第一种方法是将INT类型的日期值转成STRING类型，用Hive内置的unix_timestamp函数转成时间戳类型，最后将时间戳用from_unixtime转成yyyy-MM-dd的日期类型。
第二种就比较直接，将INT类型的日期值转成STRING类型，再对字符串进行截取处理，用-拼接起来。
select dt,
from_unixtime(unix_timestamp(cast(dt as string),'yyyyMMdd'),'yyyy-MM-dd') as a,
concat(substr(cast(dt as string),1,4), '-',substr(cast(dt as string),5,2), '-',substr(cast(dt as string),7,2)) as b
from tb;运行结果
| dt | a | b |
|---|---|---|
| 20180701 | 2018-07-01 | 2018-07-01 |
| 20180715 | 2018-07-15 | 2018-07-15 |
当然，每次都这样写有些费劲，可以在Hive中创建UDF或者宏，转换时进行调用就好了。
创建宏命令
宏命令相对于UDF要简单方便些，但是宏只能是临时宏，只在本次会话中可见、有效。因此你需要将宏脚本放在SQL脚本的头部。
DROP TEMPORARY MACRO IF EXISTS date_trans;
CREATE TEMPORARY MACRO date_trans(dt int)
if(dt is not null and length(dt)=8,
concat(substr(cast(dt as string),1,4), '-',substr(cast(dt as string),5,2), '-',substr(cast(dt as string),7,2)),
null);
--调用
select dt,date_trans(dt) as a from tb;如果同一个功能的函数或宏命令被多次调用，那维护起来就很方便，语句也简洁很多。
