Reynold Xin commented on SPARK-18350:
-------------------------------------
If it is session specific, I don't think we need an API. Just use the existing
SQL conf.
Also no need to introduce a new data type. That's a much bigger scope.
> Support session local timezone

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-18350
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: SQL
> Reporter: Reynold Xin
>
> As of Spark 2.1, Spark SQL assumes the machine timezone for datetime
> manipulation, which is bad if users are not in the same timezones as the
> machines, or if different users have different timezones.
> We should introduce a session local timezone setting that is used for
> execution.
> An explicit non-goal is locale handling.
