pedro93 opened a new issue #7000:
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-pinot/issues/7000


   Hello,
   
   Following a discussion on [this thread](https://apache-pinot.slack.com/archives/C011C9JHN7R/p1622466597303800) I would like to propose an enhancement wherein a pinot operator can define a dateTimeField in a schema and have its result being shown to the Pinot user at query time as a human readable string while at the same time being able to use date time transformations as mentioned [here](https://docs.pinot.apache.org/users/user-guide-query/supported-transformations#datetime-functions).
   
   As an example:
   I.e: Showing to the user a date time field in the format: yyyy-MM-dd on which they can do `year(field)` or `month(field)` transformations
   Where a query like: `select year(dateBirth), dateBirth from table where...`
   outputs: `1982 | 1982-02-13`
   
   Thank you.
