In Impala, you can convert a string into a date using the CAST() function.
The syntax for converting a string into a date is:
CAST(string_expression AS DATE)
For example, if you have a string column "dob" that contains dates in a "YYYY-MM-DD" format, you can convert it into a date column using the following query:
SELECT CAST(dob AS DATE) AS birth_date
FROM my_table;
This will create a new column named "birth_date" which will contain the date values.
Note: The stringexpression should be in the format accepted by the DATE type in Impala, which is "YYYY-MM-DD". If your string format is different, you may need to use the DATEFORMAT function to specify the source format of the string.
