------------------------------------
Thanks Rohini.
In fact, I asked that question on the dev mailing list a while ago:
http://search-hadoop.com/m/OVyoR1Ktpcy/Adding+new+test+cases+to+TestBuiltin.java&subj=Adding+new+test+cases+to+TestBuiltin+java
Julien said that each built-in UDF should have its own test suite, so I
followed it in PIG-2881. I guess that the same applies to CurrentTime().
Please anyone correct me if I am wrong.

> As part of the explanation of the new DateTime datatype I noticed that we had
> added a CurrentTime() UDF. The issue with this UDF is that it returns the
> current time _of every exec invocation_, which can lead to confusing results.
> In PIG-1431 I proposed a way such that every instance of the same NOW() will
> return the same time, which I think is better. Would enjoy thoughts.
