Title: Use Avro Long epoch for representing XML dateTime

Date/Times are often present in XML data (time-stamps) and are
often taking a lot of CPU for parsing and bytes for storing them
as strings.

Using an Avro Long type for their corresponding Unix Epoch mills
would allow to have a faster processing and more compact storage.
