             Summary: Support reading alternate timestamp formats
                 Key: HIVE-9298
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-9298
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Serializers/Deserializers
            Reporter: Jason Dere
            Assignee: Jason Dere


There are some users who want to be able to parse ISO-8601 timestamps, as well 
to set their own custom timestamp formats. We may be able to support this in 
LazySimpleSerDe through the use of a SerDe parameter to specify one or more 
alternative timestamp patterns to use to parse timestamp values from string.
If we are doing this it might also be nice to work in support for HIVE-3844, to 
parse numeric strings as timestamp by treating the numeric value as millis 
since Unix epoch. This can be enabled through the SerDe params as well.
