> Avro doesn't have native timestamp or date data types. Some tools (e.g.
> apache Sqoop) work around this by adding the java.sql.Types type number as an
> "sqlType" attribute to the Avro schema JSON field element. The attached patch
> makes the Avro SerDe look for an sqlType attribute, and if it is a Hive
> primitive type that's not an Avro primitive type (i.e. timestamp and date) it
> returns the appropriate Hive type (the one corresponding to the SQL type).
