Best practices for using durations in OPAL
Use durations when applicable
Time is a first order property on the Observability Cloud. For legacy reasons, you may see definitions which surface duration as a number.
This representation is outdated. Use a duration type instead, which can be inferred when you subtract one time column from another.
Using a duration type will allow the UI to render a better visualization and pretty-print the value.
