Thanks Alex: So you suggested something like: from_utc_timestamp(to_utc_timestamp(from_unixtime(1389802875),'America/Montreal'), 'America/Los_Angeles')?
This is a lot of conversion :) Is there a particular reason not to have from_unixtime to take timezone information? I think I will make a UDF if this is the only way out of the box. Thanks!
