Kishen Das created HIVE-24618:
---------------------------------
Summary: Hive Beeline should use timestamp in UTC
Key: HIVE-24618
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-24618
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Beeline
Reporter: Kishen Das
Hive moved away from java.sql.Timestamp to java.time.LocalDateTime (
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-12192, in order to be consistent
w.r.t timestamp field irrespective of the current time zone. For example: for
time zones like America/Los_Angeles that alternate between PST and PDT, time
can be shown based on effective current time zone, which is set in the current
SQL session. Hive Beeline should follow suit and use LocalDateTime ( A
date-time without a time-zone ), when doing the conversion. Also, it might be
helpful if the user can set the user timezone in Beeline session, lets say
"user.timezone”, which should be honored while showing the beeline output of a
particular timestamp field.
This issue is also more pronounced because of this bug in Java ->
[https://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=JDK-8258586] .
