> Currently, Oozie has a coord:formatTime function for formatting time strings. Unfortunately, as this is backed by SimpleDateFormat, there is no way to produce the time in Unix-style epoch. (I.e. seconds or milliseconds since the epoch.)
> Please add a coord:unixTime (or similarly named) function that, given a time string, converts it to either seconds since the epoch or milliseconds since the epoch. Something like:
> {code}
> coord:unixTime(String ts, Boolean millis)
> {code}
> Requested by [~jmartell7]
