MaxGekk commented on issue #24195: [SPARK-25496][SQL] Deprecate from_utc_timestamp and to_utc_timestamp URL: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/24195#issuecomment-577622143 @marmbrus What is the use case when you need to shift UTC timestamps by zone offsets? At the moment, I see only one when you somehow placed non-UTC timestamps in to `TIMESTAMP` column which is by definition contains UTC timestamps. If it is not the case, you should be careful because any other Spark SQL functions/operators assume UTC timestamps, and you will get wrong results if you apply them.
