Xuefu Zhang commented on HIVE-14412: ------------------------------------ [~lirui], your proposal looks good to me, especially it's backward compatible. I'm not sure if this has any impact on vectorization, but it's great to make the encoding work well in vectorized mode. > Add a timezone-aware timestamp > ------------------------------ > > Key: HIVE-14412 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-14412 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: Hive > Reporter: Rui Li > Assignee: Rui Li > Attachments: HIVE-14412.1.patch, HIVE-14412.1.patch, > HIVE-14412.1.patch > > > Java's Timestamp stores the time elapsed since the epoch. While it's by > itself unambiguous, ambiguity comes when we parse a string into timestamp, or > convert a timestamp to string, causing problems like HIVE-14305. > To solve the issue, I think we should make timestamp aware of timezone. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
