Remus Rusanu updated HIVE-5527:
-------------------------------

    Description: 
A query like 

SELECT ctimestamp2 from alltypesorc WHERE ctimestamp2 > -10669; 

returns rows in row mode, but not in vector mode *when running in GMT+2 
timezone*. 

I know what causes this, but I don’t know exactly whether is a bug or not.
The reading of the TIMESTAMP types is done in TimeStampTreeReader class, 

long ms = (result.vector[result.isRepeating ? 0 : i] + 
WriterImpl.BASE_TIMESTAMP)
              * WriterImpl.MILLIS_PER_SECOND;
          long ns = parseNanos(nanoVector.vector[nanoVector.isRepeating ? 0 : 
i]);
          // the rounding error exists because java always rounds up when 
dividing integers
          // -42001/1000 = -42; and -42001 % 1000 = -1 (+ 1000)
          // to get the correct value we need
          // (-42 - 1)*1000 + 999 = -42001
          // (42)*1000 + 1 = 42001
          if(ms < 0 && ns != 0) {
            ms -= 1000;
          }
          // Convert millis into nanos and add the nano vector value to it
          result.vector[i] = (ms * 1000000) + ns;

As you see this relies on the ORC WriterImpl.BASE_TIMESTAMP, which is declared 
as:

  static final long BASE_TIMESTAMP =
      Timestamp.valueOf("2015-01-01 00:00:00").getTime() / MILLIS_PER_SECOND;

On US/Pacific time, this will be 1420099200
On EEST (GMT+2) time is 1420063200

The first row in alltypesorc for ctimestamp2 reads -1420099192 as data[0] and 
7005 as nanos[0]. On US/Pacific, with a LONG vector timestamp value of 
8875000000. On EEST it ends up with -35992125000000. (Note how the abs(data[0]) 
value is smaller than the US/Pacific basetime, but bigger than the EEST, so it 
goes negative on EEST and just cascades to a huge negative number).

The vector filter simply compares this with -10669 (the query WHERE clause) and 
it qualifies the row on US/Pacific, but fails on EEST.

I’m not sure what the right solution is, the whole of Hive code appears to be 
riddled with Timezone problems. As a side node, the build-common.xml  sets an 
environment variable TZ to US/Pacific, but this has no effect in running tests 
on Windows. 

But the gist of it is this: in row mode the results are consistent on any time 
zone. In vector mode the results vary (rows qualify for WHERE clause) depending 
on the timezone.


  was:I did not yet identify the root cause, but the vectorization_regress.q 
returns different results depending on the local timezone settings
