Pradeep Gollakota commented on PIG-3391:
----------------------------------------
I have a couple of quick questions:
1. Should the summary read "DateTime \-> Long" instead of "DataType\-> Long"?
2. What do you mean by "datetime->long" in the description?
3. Could you provide a link to the JIRA that you're talking about?
If the answer to #2 is epoch time, then I believe you are correct that timezone
information will be lost, epoch time is always UTC.
