[jira] Commented: (PIG-1314) Add DateTime Support to Pig

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1314?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12884558#action_12884558 ] 

Russell Jurney commented on PIG-1314:
-------------------------------------

Been thinking about this... I don't think we should add a full datetime type at this time.  See comments in PIG-1314 on alternative approach using builtins.

> Hadoop/Pig are primarily used to parse log data, and most logs have a timestamp component.  Therefore Pig should support dates as a primitive.
> Can someone familiar with adding types to pig comment on how hard this is?  We're looking at doing this, rather than use UDFs.  Is this a patch that would be accepted?
