> In shell, we have custom formatter to convert from bytes to Long/Int for long/int data type values.
> Many times we store the epoch timestamp (event creation, updation time) as long in our table columns. Even after converting this column to Long, the date is not in a human readable format. We still have to convert this long into date using some bash shell tricks and it is not convenient to do for many columns. We can introduce a new format method called +toLongDate+ which signifies that we want to convert the bytes to long first and then to date.
> Please let me know if any such functionality already exists and I am not aware of.
