Thejas M Nair commented on PIG-1314:
------------------------------------
bq. 2. According to your last response, I'm not clear how the default timezone
of client can be sent to the server with the code. In my opinion, the default
timezone should be specified on the server side by configuration, which should
be taken care of by administrators. How do you think about this.
I believe you should be able to set the default timezone property in PigContext
constructor, and also let user override the default. In backend, you can access
the value using something like -
PigMapReduce.sJobConfInternal.get().get("pig.datetime.default.tz").

> 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?

> would be accepted?
