---------------------------------------
Summary: Add toInteger() basic EL function
Key: OOZIE-3140
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OOZIE-3140
Project: Oozie
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: workflow
Affects Versions: 4.3.0
Reporter: Mladen Kovacevic
Priority: Minor
The set of Basic EL Functions described in the docs section 4.2.2 should be
extended to include a basic function called toInteger(). This is useful so that
we can define parameters in the properties files that we can easily convert
from String to Integer to pass into functions that accept int as input
parameters.
For example, many of the Dataset or Date EL functions take 'int' as input, such
as coord:dateOffset [1], coord:offset [2] and certainly numerous others.
Currently, any parameter defined in the job properties file is considered a
String, and can not be used out of the box as an input parameter to these
functions.
Having a simple toInteger() function can help simplify this.
