Hi all, There is an ongoing effort to harmonize timestamp types for various popular SQL engines for Hadoop (see details here <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1E-7miCh4qK6Mg54b-Dh5VOyhGX8V4xdMXKIHJL36a9U/edit#>). As part of this effort, on disk file formats should be able to support all of these semantics. Avro timestamp logical type supports only one semantic: UTC normalized. I put together a simple design doc an two POCs which introduce additional local date/time semantics into Avro. Here is the design doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rLmb4-6G8LHBwHUU2P_8gE1o3lvMV0gSitnmiXXmlWY/edit?usp=sharing
What are the thoughts on this? Please have a look at the POCs, and feel free to comment the design doc! Thanks, Nandor
