             Summary: Support differentiating between LocalDateTime and Instant semantics in timestamps
                 Key: AVRO-2328
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2328
             Project: Apache Avro
          Issue Type: Task
            Reporter: Zoltan Ivanfi


Different SQL engines of the Hadoop stack support different timestamp semantics. The range of supported semantics is about to be extended even further. While some of the new timestamp types can be added to SQL without explicit support from the file formats, others require new physical types. File format support would be beneficial even for timestamp semantics where it is not strictly required, because it would enable correct interpretation without an SQL schema or any other kind of manual configuration.

This JIRA is about supporting the LocalDateTime and Instant semantics. See [this document|https://docs.google.com/document/d/1E-7miCh4qK6Mg54b-Dh5VOyhGX8V4xdMXKIHJL36a9U/edit#] for details.
