             Summary: Specify formats of `spark.sql.session.timeZone`
                 Key: SPARK-31232
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-31232
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Documentation
          Components: SQL
    Affects Versions: 2.4.5, 3.0.0
            Reporter: Maxim Gekk


There are two distinct types of ID (see 
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/time/ZoneId.html):
# Fixed offsets - a fully resolved offset from UTC/Greenwich, that uses the 
same offset for all local date-times
# Geographical regions - an area where a specific set of rules for finding the 
offset from UTC/Greenwich apply

For example three-letter time zone IDs are ambitious, and depend on the locale. 
They have been already deprecated in JDK, see 
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/TimeZone.html :
{code}
For compatibility with JDK 1.1.x, some other three-letter time zone IDs (such 
as "PST", "CTT", "AST") are also supported. However, their use is deprecated 
because the same abbreviation is often used for multiple time zones (for 
example, "CST" could be U.S. "Central Standard Time" and "China Standard 
Time"), and the Java platform can then only recognize one of them.
{code}

The ticket aims to specify formats of the SQL config 
*spark.sql.session.timeZone* in the 2 forms mentioned above.
