Alan Gates commented on PIG-1314:
---------------------------------

I think durations would be useful, and others have mentioned to me that they'd 
like to have them.  As you note, this might be a good phase 2 addition, as 
getting datetime in alone will be a fair chunk of work.

> 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?
