[hibernate-dev] HSEARCH Java 8 Date Time

Hi, I started to work on the creation of the bridges for the classes in the java.time package. I was wondering if we want to convert the values to long using the existing approach we have now for java.util.Date. In Hibernate Search a java.util.Date is converted into a long that represents the number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT using getTime(). The same value can be obtain from a java.time.LocaDate via: long epochMilli = date.atStartOfDay( ZoneOffset.UTC ).toInstant().toEpochMilli(); LocalDate has a method that returns the same value expressed in number of days: long epochDay = date.toEpochDay(); I would use the second approach Davide
