Till updated ASTERIXDB-2566:
----------------------------
Description:
(Initially reported by AsterixDB user Nick Digeronimo)
The AsterixDB docs seem to be missing type identification functions for some
types. For example, there is no "is_date" function. In fact, there are a number
of missing type checks for types date, datetime, time, duration, and possibly
more. A generic "get_type" method might be helpful to solve this problem.
The type functions are listed on the AsterixDB help page:
[https://asterixdb.apache.org/docs/0.9.4/sqlpp/builtins.html#TypeFunctions]
We should have an is_XXX function for each of the supported primitive types
plus each of the structured types.
We should also have the suggested get_type function (name TBD), e.g., which
would take a value in and return the string name of its type.
