-----------------------------------------

Hi Vijay

I am fairly new to this also. I think I would contact the Russel about his 
analysis spark-connector

potentially making a change to the way dates are handled could break a lot of 
existing apps. I think the key is to figure how to come up with a solution that 
is backwards compatible.

I have filed several bugs in the past but only after discussion on the users 
email group. I would suggest before you do a lot of work you see what the user 
group thinks

many thanks for taking this on

Andy

> we have time stamp data. The time stamp data is UTC how ever when we load the 
> data into spark data frames, the system assume the time stamps are in the 
> local time zone. This causes problems for our data scientists. Often they 
> pull data from our data center into their local macs. The data centers run 
> UTC. There computers are typically in PST or EST.
> It is possible to hack around this problem
> This cause a lot of errors in their analysis
