Tim Armstrong commented on IMPALA-7962:
---------------------------------------
I actually thought about this more and I think we want actually *not* want
containers to inherit the timezone from their host - the container is meant to
isolate the process from the environment that it's running in. It might be
better just to default to UTC, and let users set the default value of the
TIMEZONE query option to get the desired behaviour from their queries. This
would mean that logs and other timestamps would be in UTC rather than local
time, but maybe that's ok.
