Cheolsoo Park commented on PIG-3014:
------------------------------------
I was going to commit the patch after fixing whitespaces.
But I realized that the new test case {{TestCurrentTime}} fails with
hadoop-2.0.x.
{code}
ERROR 0: pig.job.submitted.timestamp was not set!
{code}
> CurrentTime() UDF has undesirable characteristics

> As part of the explanation of the new DateTime datatype I noticed that we had
> added a CurrentTime() UDF. The issue with this UDF is that it returns the
> current time _of every exec invocation_, which can lead to confusing results.
> In PIG-1431 I proposed a way such that every instance of the same NOW() will
> return the same time, which I think is better. Would enjoy thoughts.
