Edward Yoon commented on HADOOP-2502:
-------------------------------------

All is timestamp.
But, Sometimes we might need a convert function as a timestamp to string or 
string to timestamp.
Because we are human.

So, Make a function package.
And, i'd like to make a 'DateTimeFormats' system table when system initializing.
Then, user can insert/select own date format style for converting.
Otherwise, just hard coding.

Anyhow, it also will be a good util for users.

Grammars are simiple.
I'd like to some copy the common SQL syntax.
