Stefania commented on CASSANDRA-11137:
--------------------------------------

bq. My original issue was with the Java driver. 

I suspect the Java driver simply prints the JSON string like cqlsh does so the 
fix is definitely in Cassandra.

bq. The examples in the ticket description use two different table names but 
they should be the same table. I cannot edit the description.

Description amended, thank you.

> JSON datetime formatting needs timezone

> The JSON date time string representation lacks the timezone information:
> {code}
> cqlsh:events> select toJson(created_at) AS created_at from 
> event_by_user_timestamp ;
>  created_at
> ---------------------------
>  "2016-01-04 16:05:47.123"
> (1 rows)
> {code}
> vs.
> {code}
> cqlsh:events> select created_at FROM event_by_user_timestamp ;
>  created_at
> --------------------------
>  2016-01-04 15:05:47+0000
> (1 rows)
> cqlsh:events>
> {code}
> To make things even more complicated the JSON timestamp is not returned in 
> UTC.
> At the moment {{DateType}} picks this formatting string {{"yyyy-MM-dd 
> HH:mm:ss.SSS"}}. Shouldn't we somehow make this configurable by users or at a 
> minimum add the timezone?
