Jesus Camacho Rodriguez commented on HIVE-21039: ------------------------------------------------ Patch changes the timestamp in session state to be an instant, which I believe is the right thing to do. Then GenericUDFCurrentTimestamp translates that instant into a zoned datetime in the session time zone and produces a timestamp (local datetime) from it. The issue observed could also happen with current_date; this patch should solve that issue too. > CURRENT_TIMESTAMP returns value in UTC time zone > ------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HIVE-21039 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-21039 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 3.1.1 > Reporter: Andrey Zinovyev > Assignee: Jesus Camacho Rodriguez > Priority: Major > Attachments: HIVE-21039.patch > > > We're upgrading from hive 1.2 to 3.1 and it seems like new hive returns > CURRENT_TIMESTAMP in UTC timezone.
