Russell Jurney commented on PIG-1314:
-------------------------------------
Thanks, Alan. That is quite helpful. Let me look into it and see about
feasibility.
What about durations as well? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601#Durations
ISO8601 durations would be very handy in enabling use of pig operators on
datetimes via +/-, etc. This might be something to do later, though.

> Hadoop/Pig are primarily used to parse log data, and most logs have a
> timestamp component. Therefore Pig should support dates as a primitive.
> Can someone familiar with adding types to pig comment on how hard this is?
> We're looking at doing this, rather than use UDFs. Is this a patch that
> would be accepted?
