    • Incompatible change
    • Hide
      The behaviors of converting from BOOLEAN/TINYINT/SMALLINT/INT/BIGINT and converting from FLOAT/DOUBLE to TIMESTAMP were inconsistent. The value of a BOOLEAN/TINYINT/SMALLINT/INT/BIGINT was treated as the time in milliseconds while the value of a FLOAT/DOUBLE was treated as the time in seconds. After the change, all the types during the conversion are interpreted in seconds.

    Description

      Ran into an issue while working with timestamp conversion.
      CAST(unix_timestamp() as TIMESTAMP) should create a timestamp for the current time from the BIGINT returned by unix_timestamp()

      Instead, however, a 1970-01-16 timestamp is returned.
