Hi, I'm a complete Hive newbie, so please excuse me if this question sounds too dumb. I didn't see a native date/time data type at http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Hive/LanguageManual/DDL. Is this an omission in the documentation or does Hive really not have a native date/time data type?
Should I convert the timestamp in my log files to a Unix timestamp (BIGINT) and store it? Or should I treat the timestamp as a STRING? Thanks, Saurabh. -- http://nandz.blogspot.com http://foodieforlife.blogspot.com
