Date Math is great.
NOW/MONTH, NOW/DAY are all working and very useful, so naively I tried
NOW/WEEK,
which failed.
Digging into the source code of DateMathParser.java, i found the following
comment:
99 // NOTE: consciously choosing not to support WEEK at this time,
100 // because of complexity in rounding down to the nearest week 101
// arround a month/year boundry. 102 // (Not to mention: it's not clear
what people would *expect*)
I was able to implement a work-around in my ruby client using the following
pseudo code:
wd=NOW.wday; "NOW-#{wd}DAY/DAY"
This could be extended and integrated into the DateMathParser.java directly
using the something like the following mapping:
valWEEKS --> (val*7)DAYS
date/WEEK --> (date-(date.DAY_OF_WEEK)DAYS)/DAY
What other concerns are there to consider?
