Rui Li commented on HIVE-14412: ------------------------------- Hi [~ashutoshc], thanks for the suggestions. bq. Timestamp with Timezone should behave as ZonedDateTime and Timestamp should behave as LocalDateTime Agreed. But ZonedDateTime is "the combination of a LocalDateTime and a ZoneId", which means we still have to store the ZoneId right? Btw, shall we move the discussion to HIVE-16418 - other guys are commenting there :) > 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-14412.2.patch, > HIVE-14412.3.patch, HIVE-14412.4.patch, HIVE-14412.5.patch, > HIVE-14412.6.patch, HIVE-14412.7.patch, HIVE-14412.8.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 (v6.3.15#6346)
