             Summary: TIMESTAMP_INSTANT should be primitive
                 Key: ORC-790
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ORC-790
             Project: ORC
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Zoltán Borók-Nagy


Currently TIMESTAMP_INSTANT is defined as a non-primitive type. While TIMESTAMP 
is a primitive type.

[https://github.com/apache/orc/blob/cfa749854fd4fd78c763762f3515f33b9a206072/java/core/src/java/org/apache/orc/TypeDescription.java#L119]
{noformat}
TIMESTAMP_INSTANT("timestamp with local time zone", false);
Category(String name, boolean isPrimitive) {
  this.name = name;
  this.isPrimitive = isPrimitive;
}
{noformat}
This can cause problems in code that branches based on 
type.getCategory().isPrimitive()
