Edward Capriolo commented on HIVE-3910:
---------------------------------------

Do we really want to add joda time to the class path and ship this jar out with 
every job just because its "better"? You have to remember that every jar we 
ship with hive had to be put on the distributed cache and if anyone else has a 
joda time in use by a udf they can run into conflicts.

> It might be useful to have a DATE datatype along with timestamp.
> This can only store the day (possibly number of days from 1970-01-01,
> and would thus give space savings in binary format).
