             Summary: Add support to read int64 NANO timestamps to the parquet scanner
                 Key: IMPALA-7853
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-7853
             Project: IMPALA
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Backend
            Reporter: Csaba Ringhofer
            Assignee: Csaba Ringhofer


PARQUET-1387 added int64 timestamps with nanosecond precision.

As 64 bits are not enough to represent the whole 1400..9999 range of Impala timestamps,  so this new new type works with a limited range:
1677-09-21 00:12:43.145224192  .. 2262-04-11 23:47:16.854775807 UTC

The benefit of the reduced range is that no validation is necessary during scanning, as every possible 64 bit value represents a valid timestamp in Impala. This may mean that this has the potential be the fastest way to store timestamps.
