Review Comment:
   Agree with Fokko, this is a description of the transform which takes a date 
or timestamp and produces an int. If you are implementing this transform and 
return a date the transform would be incorrect and incompatible with other 
Iceberg implementations. Now if you implement this function and display the 
output as a different type (like the metadata table) that's fine.
