Zhenghua Gao created FLINK-8045: ----------------------------------- Summary: Add Internal DATE/TIME/TIMESTAMP as internal representation of DATE/TIME/TIMESTAMP Key: FLINK-8045 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-8045 Project: Flink Issue Type: Improvement Components: Table API & SQL Reporter: Zhenghua Gao Assignee: Zhenghua Gao
Currently DATE/TIME/TIMESTAMP have internal representation. Such as Date is represented as Int internal. This feature may improve performance processing DATE/TIME/TIMESTAMP data. But I found there is a LIMITATION: internal representation exists only within one operator. We transfer DATE/TIME/TIMESTAMP objects between operators. I think we could treat DATE/TIME/TIMESTAMP as internal representation in the whole job, and cast them to java.sql.* as needed(UDF/UDTF/OUTPUT) -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
