             Summary: casting of primitive datetime data type should work
                 Key: PIG-4579
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-4579
             Project: Pig
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Michael Howard
            Priority: Minor


datetime is a primitive data type. 
One should be able to cast a chararray or a long into a datetime. 
currently, this does not work. 

casting from a chararray should call the built-in UDF ToDateISO(chararray)
casting from a long should call the built-in UDF ToDate(long)
