In hive from_unixtime is returned from the timezone which you belong to "From document : from_unixtime(bigint unixtime[, string format]) : Converts the number of seconds from unix epoch (1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC) to a string representing the timestamp of that moment in the current system time zone in the format of "1970-01-01 00:00:00".
if possible can you also check by changing the timezone to UTC on your machine?
