    Description

       

      How to reproduce:

      scala> spark.sql("create table t1(d date)")
      res2: org.apache.spark.sql.DataFrame = []
      scala> spark.sql("insert into table t1 values(cast('2020-08-09' as date))")
      res3: org.apache.spark.sql.DataFrame = []
      scala> spark.sql("select d from t1").show
      +----------+
      |         d|
      +----------+
      |1970-01-01|
      +----------+  
      

       

      Spark 3.0 introduced DaysWritable which extends DateWrite from hive to handle date type. DaysWritable.toString() is called to write its value into hive table. DateWrite.toString() is defined as:

       

      @Override
      public String toString() {
       // For toString, the time does not matter
       return get(false).toString();
      }
      
      public Date get(boolean doesTimeMatter) {
        return new Date(daysToMillis(daysSinceEpoch, doesTimeMatter));
      }
      

       

      DaysWritable didn't override toString(), neither get(boolean doesTimeMatter)。It did override get():

      override def get(): Date = new Date(DateWritable.daysToMillis(julianDays))
      

      but this didn't help with toString(), so with daysSinceEpoch in DateWritable always as 0, calls to DaysWritable.toString() will always return '1970-01-01', and as a result date value stored into hive table will always have value '1970-01-01'。
