Hi all, Query - select date_format(current_timestamp,"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS z")
Result - 2021-05-04 13:00:33.358 UTC https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-12192 As part of above jira it was decided to have a common time zone for all computation i.e. "UTC". Due to which data_format() function was hard coded to "UTC". https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-21039 But later it was decided that user session time zone value should be the default not UTC. date_format() was not fixed as part of HIVE-21039. Dropping this mail to understand what should be the ideal time zone value of date_format(). Thanks Ashish Sharma
