Alan Gates commented on PIG-1430:
---------------------------------
I think it's fine to start with just putting conversion functions into Pig
Latin. What I'd like to clarify though is what is the desired end state? Does
Pig eventually have a datetime type that does all the datetime stuff you can
dream of (timezones, etc.)? Or does Pig only ever have longs or strings to
represent times and a set of functions to work with those? Are you proposing
that latter, or delaying the former in interest of getting something into 0.8?

> contrib.piggybank.java.src.main.java.org.apache.pig.piggybank.evaluation.datetime
> should seamlessly accept integer Unix/POSIX times, and return Unix time
> output when given an int, and ISO output when given a chararray.

> proleptic Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) of January 1, 1970, not counting
