Guillaume Labourey commented on AVRO-4043:
------------------------------------------
People who participated in the discussion thread on this subject agree with
this improvement. Can you take this new specification and the proposed
implementations into account in the next version?

> Project: Apache Avro
> Issue Type: New Feature

> To align with nanoseconds precision of timestamps and local timestamps, I
> would propose adding this precision to the time logical type Avro
> specification as well.
> Maximum time of day is 86 400 000 000 000 nano seconds. It can easily be
> encoded in a {{long}} type because the maximum signed value is commonly 9 223
> 372 036 854 775 807 as describe in the following table.
> ||Language||Maximum||
> |C++|[std::numeric_limits|http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/types/numeric_limits]<long>::max()|
> |Java|Long.MAX_VALUE|
> |Rust|i64::MAX|
