Benjamin Lerer commented on CASSANDRA-11936:
--------------------------------------------

While working on the ticket we realized a couple of problem linked to the 
description example.
If you do something like {{myTimeuuid - 2h}}, you will expect that operation to 
return a {{timeuuid}}. The problem is that this type of operation does not 
really make sense for timeuuid.

The idea for {{date}} and {{timestamp}} is then to add some new methods: 
{{currentTimestamp}} and {{currentDate}} to allow: {{WHERE reading_time < 
currentTimestamp() - 2h}} and {{WHERE reading_time < currentDate() - 2d}} 
(CASSANDRA-13132)

For timeuuid you will have to do  {{WHERE reading_time < 
minTimeuuid(currentTimestamp() - 2h)}}




> Add support for + and - operations on dates

> For time series it can be interesting to allow queries with {{WHERE}} clause 
> like: {{... WHERE reading_time < now() - 2h}}
> In order to do that we need to add support for: {{+}} and {{-}} operation 
> with date.
