Hi,
We're upgrading from hive 1.2 to 3.1 and it seems like new hive returns
CURRENT_TIMESTAMP in UTC timezone. But before it was in local (system's
default) timezone.

According to HIVE-5472 current_timestamp should use user's local timezone.
This behaviour was changed in HIVE-12192  (if I got it
right). GenericUDFCurrentTimestamp now explicitly uses UTC as timezone to
initialise org.apache.hadoop.hive.common.type.Timestamp

Is it some intentional change or some misconfiguration from on our side?

For example
Old hive:
hive> select current_timestamp;
OK
2018-12-12 22:43:39.024

New hive:
> select current_timestamp;
+--------------------------+
|           _c0            |
+--------------------------+
| 2018-12-12 19:43:57.024  |
+--------------------------+
