Zhijie Shen commented on PIG-1314:
----------------------------------
{quote}
But the timezone part and time part of the datetime string should be optional.
Does jodatime support that?
{quote}
Yes, these two parts are not mandatory. The default time value is
"00:00:00.000" while the default timezone offset is "+00:00". When the datetime
object is outputed an ISO-format string, the default parts will be filled up
(e.g., 2012-07-03T00:00:00.000Z).

> 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?
> This is a candidate project for Google summer of code 2012. More information
