Zhenghua Gao updated FLINK-8045: -------------------------------- Description: 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) was: Currently DATE/TIME/TIMESTAMP have internal representation.
