NOWscalar function returns a value ofLONGtype representing milliseconds since epoch. It was added before theTIMESTAMPdata type was introduced to Pinot.TIMESTAMPADDtakes a datetime type as its third parameter (ex -TIMESTAMPADD(day, 10, CAST('2024-12-01' AS TIMESTAMP)).TIMESTAMPADD(day, 10, now())(LONG/TIMESTAMPare interchangeable in v1 which is not strongly typed) works fine but it fails in the v2 engine with an error like -Cannot apply 'TIMESTAMPADD' to arguments of type 'TIMESTAMPADD(<INTERVAL DAY>, <INTEGER>, <BIGINT>)'. Supported form(s): 'TIMESTAMPADD(<ANY>, <INTEGER>, <DATETIME>)'.FROM_DATE_TIME, we can add an override to the operator table to make sure that the return type for theNOWscalar function is defined asTIMESTAMPand it can be used as one (in terms of execution in the query engine,TIMESTAMPis represented asLONGinternally so that isn't an issue here).
