Ryan Blue commented on AVRO-739:
--------------------------------
Yes, that sounds like a good solution to me. For the spec part, we can use the
same logical types for both the string / ISO representations and the numeric
encoding. We would just state in the spec that the string encoding is ISO-8601
and the int encoding is days from unix epoch and that no other underlying types
are allowed. That way we don't have more logical types, just different ways of
representing them. That's what we ended up doing for decimal, which has an
unscaled component that can be stored in an int, a long, binary, or fixed.
