Thejas M Nair commented on HIVE-4055:
-------------------------------------
[~sunrui] I think we should consider using JodaTime instead of java.sql.Date.
While working on datetime implementation in Apache Pig (PIG-1314), we found
that JodaTime is significantly faster than java built in date type. See numbers
here -

. The test code is attached in the jira. Note that the comparison is after
adding optimization to avoid conversion Calendar objects from java.util.date.
java.sql.Date is a thin wrapper around java.util.Date , so it is likely to have
the same performance characteristics.

> Basically, the implementation can take HIVE-2272 and HIVE-2957 as references.
