[jira] [Commented] (FLUME-744) Update docs explaining difference between %t and %{timestamp} escape codes

["Alex Baranau (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-744?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13089278#comment-13089278 ] 

Alex Baranau commented on FLUME-744:
------------------------------------

Hm.. it looks like there's no difference in %t and %{timestamp} actually:

    case 't':
      // This is different from unix date (which would insert a tab character
      // here)
      return Long.valueOf(getTimestamp()).toString();

and

    if (tag.equals("timestamp")) {
      return String.valueOf(getTimestamp());
    }

Am I missing something?

(Btw, the second variant is better to use as it creates less object instances I think)
