-----------------------------------
Summary: Add from_unixtime UDF that has controllable Timezone
Key: HIVE-6009
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-6009
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: CLI
Affects Versions: 0.10.0
Environment: CDH4.4
Reporter: Johndee Burks
Priority: Trivial
Currently the from_unixtime UDF takes into a account timezone of the system
doing the transformation. I think that implementation is good, but it would be
nice to include or change the current UDF to have a configurable timezone.
It would be useful for looking at timestamp data from different regions in the
native region's timezone.
Example:
from_unixtime(unix_time, format, timezone)
from_unixtime(1293840000, dd MMM yyyy, GMT-5)
