Zhijie Shen updated PIG-1314: ----------------------------- Attachment: PIG-1314-7.patch Hi Thejas, I've updated the patch again. I'll be sorry if it disturbs your review of the code. In the latest version, I added three more datetime related UDFs and related test cases according to Russell's suggestion: 1. WeeksBetween 2. GetWeek 3. GetWeekYear In addition, I modify the code of XXXXBetween UDFs. Previously, all the UDFs in this category leverages joda to compute the interval. While joda can only return the integer interval, the actual interval is likely to be so big that it has to be stored in a long variable. Therefore, for the datetime fields of fixed length: 1. MilliSecondsBetween 2. SecondsBetween 3. MinutesBetween 4. HoursBetween 5. DaysBetween 6. WeeksBetween I adopted my our computation methods. On the other side, fot the datetime fields of flexible length: 1. MonthsBetween 2. YearsBetween I keep to the joda methods. We may improve this later. At last, I remove the DiffDate UDF, because it is the same as DaysBetween. > Add DateTime Support to Pig > --------------------------- > > Key: PIG-1314 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1314 > Project: Pig > Issue Type: Bug > Components: data > Affects Versions: 0.7.0 > Reporter: Russell Jurney > Assignee: Zhijie Shen > Labels: gsoc2012 > Attachments: joda_vs_builtin.zip, PIG-1314-1.patch, PIG-1314-2.patch, > PIG-1314-3.patch, PIG-1314-4.patch, PIG-1314-5.patch, PIG-1314-6.patch, > PIG-1314-7.patch > > Original Estimate: 672h > Remaining Estimate: 672h > > Hadoop/Pig are primarily used to parse log data, and most logs have a > timestamp component.
