I have the following string representation of a timestamp in my Hive table:
20130502081559999
I need to convert it to a string like so:
2013-05-02 08:15:59
I have tried following ({code} >>> {result}):
from_unixtime(unix_timestamp('20130502081559999', 'yyyyMMddHHmmss')) >>> 2013-05-03 00:54:59
from_unixtime(unix_timestamp('20130502081559999', 'yyyyMMddHHmmssMS')) >>> 2013-09-02 08:15:59
from_unixtime(unix_timestamp('20130502081559999', 'yyyyMMddHHmmssMS')) >>> 2013-05-02 08:10:39
Converting to a timestamp and then unixtime seems weird, what is the proper way to do this?
EDIT
I figured it out.
from_unixtime(unix_timestamp(substr('20130502081559999',1,14), 'yyyyMMddHHmmss')) >>> 2013-05-02 08:15:59
or
from_unixtime(unix_timestamp('20130502081559999', 'yyyyMMddHHmmssSSS')) >>> 2013-05-02 08:15:59
Still... Is there a better way?

Not sure what you mean by "better way" but you can always write your own function to handle the date conversion.
