Jeremy Hanna commented on PIG-1314:
-----------------------------------
I think this would be nice also when outputting from pig scripts using
DBStorage to an RDBMS - to be able to serialize properly to the db's timestamp
or date type (without extra UDF work).
> Add DateTime Support to Pig
> ---------------------------
>
> Key: PIG-1314
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1314
> Project: Pig
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: data
> Affects Versions: 0.7.0
> Reporter: Russell Jurney
> Assignee: Russell Jurney
> Original Estimate: 672h
> Remaining Estimate: 672h
>
> 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?
