Tim Armstrong resolved IMPALA-663.
----------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
We appear to be compiling with the flag, so I guess this works.
> Setting BOOST_DATE_TIME_POSIX_TIME_STD_CONFIG doesn't work.

> Key: IMPALA-663
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-663
> Project: IMPALA
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Backend
> Affects Versions: Impala 1.0
> Reporter: Nong Li
> Priority: Minor
>
> That flag is a compile time #define for boost to enable nanosecond precision.
> We need this to be compatible with the hive timestamp type.
> Unfortunately, setting this has serious problems with other boost libraries,
> in particular, the threading libraries. The threading libraries are, by
> default, compiled without this set. The threading library and Impala
> therefore have differently sized time structs and cannot work together.
> e.g.
> posix_time duration(xxx); // object created in impala, with the #define
> boost::time_wait(duration); // we pass this object to a library compiled
> without the #define and the duration object is not usable.
> This explains why we've had some issues with some of the boost sync
> primitives just not working.
