Benjamin Lerer updated CASSANDRA-11873:
---------------------------------------
    Comment: was deleted

(was: I am -1 on this. I think those syntaxes are more complex than needed. In my opinion {{now() - 3d}} will be easily understood by everybody  and I do not think that there is a need to have to write {{now() -3 day}}. In the case of CASSANDRA-11871 I found that the {{INTERVAL}} syntax is making the query much more verbose and less readable: {{GROUP BY floor(time, INTERVAL '1' HOUR)}}. )

> For CASSANDRA-11871 or to allow queries with {{WHERE}} clause like:
> {{... WHERE reading_time < now() - 2h}}, we need to support some duration type.
> In my opinion, it should be represented internally as a number of microseconds.
