[jira] Created: (THRIFT-839) Add datetime datatype to protocol

Add datetime datatype to protocol
---------------------------------

                 Key: THRIFT-839
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-839
             Project: Thrift
          Issue Type: Wish
            Reporter: Ivo Timmermans
            Priority: Minor


While it's easy to include a custom date/time type in a struct, I expected it to be present in the protocol, and be mapped to the appropriate native type.

------------------------------------------

AS3 has no i64 type, so millis since epoch doesn't work.

--------------------------------------

I agree that we shouldn't create a datetime type, since the implementations could end up being very different and complex amongst all the languages. 

If AS3 doesn't have an i64 type, how do you transmit i64s? If you don't need milli precision, you can use an i32 and make it seconds since epoch.

Thrift has i64 which allow timestamps in ms to be stored/transmitted, no need to add datetime complexity.
