   Chatted with @npawar a bit over Slack. She added a number of the functions 
here: https://github.com/apache/incubator-pinot/pull/5324/files so I'm focusing 
mostly on LocalDateTime conversions here.
   
   The interfaces should be something like:
   ```
   DateTime toDateTime(String dateTimeString, String pattern)
   
   Long fromDateTime(DateTime localDateTime)
   ```
   
   The core complexity here is in not creating a new SimpleDateFormat for each 
row (as Neha already mentioned). Right now, all DateTimeFunctions are static - 
if we were to write similar static functions we would either need to create a 
new SimpleDateFormat for each row (too slow) or create a simple cache for 
SimpleDateFormat (the joys of cache invalidation...). So, the better approach 
is to refactor the FunctionRegistry to allow non-static functions to be 
processed so we can have some shared memory between rows.
   
   I'm exploring the best way to go about this now, using the usage of 
TransformFunctions as an example.
