             Summary: Support differentiating between LocalDateTime and Instant 
semantics in timestamps
                 Key: AVRO-2328
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2328
             Project: Apache Avro
          Issue Type: Task
            Reporter: Zoltan Ivanfi


Different SQL engines of the Hadoop stack support different timestamp 
semantics. The range of supported semantics is about to be extended even 
further. While some of the new timestamp types can be added to SQL without 
explicit support from the file formats, others require new physical types. File 
format support would be beneficial even for timestamp semantics where it is not 
strictly required, because it would enable correct interpretation without an 
SQL schema or any other kind of manual configuration.

This JIRA is about supporting the LocalDateTime and Instant semantics. See 
[this

 for details.
