 If you have date format like 


date_col

1/1/1978 0:00

6/6/1975 0:00

1/1/1978 0:00

1/1/1978 0:00

7/23/1988 0:00

1/1/1978 0:00

1/26/1961 0:00

3/3/1980 0:00

6/2/1984 0:00

1/2/1971 0:00



Solution :

substring(TO_DATE(date_col ,'MM/dd/yy'),0,10) from table

Result :


1978-01-01
1975-06-06
..
1988-07-23

When you use spark sql or other sql query to read Partition data then your resultant partition created with blank or 0 value. Solution: Please change the configuration file of hive and set below property.
