Jesus Camacho Rodriguez created HIVE-21039: ----------------------------------------------
Summary: CURRENT_TIMESTAMP returns value in UTC time zone Key: HIVE-21039 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-21039 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 3.1.1 Reporter: Andrey Zinovyev Assignee: Jesus Camacho Rodriguez We're upgrading from hive 1.2 to 3.1 and it seems like new hive returns CURRENT_TIMESTAMP in UTC timezone. But before it was in local (system's default) timezone. According to HIVE-5472 current_timestamp should use user's local timezone. This behaviour was changed in HIVE-12192 (if I got it right). GenericUDFCurrentTimestamp now explicitly uses UTC as timezone to initialise org.apache.hadoop.hive.common.type.Timestamp . For example Old hive: {code} hive> select current_timestamp; OK 2018-12-12 22:43:39.024 {code} New hive: {code} > select current_timestamp; +--------------------------+ | _c0 | +--------------------------+ | 2018-12-12 19:43:57.024 | +--------------------------+ {code} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
