-----------------------------------
Summary: Timezone handling for Coordinators: emphasize
"Continent/City" format
Key: OOZIE-2867
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OOZIE-2867
Project: Oozie
Issue Type: Sub-task
Components: coordinator
Affects Versions: 4.3.0
Reporter: Andras Piros
Fix For: 5.0.0
It seems that some time zone abbreviations like {{BST}} for British Summer Time
silently just do not get accepted correctly by Oozie and the underlying JVM.
It would be great to:
* emphasize in the Coordinator Functional Specification that it's best to only
use time zone format {{Continent/City}}, like {{Europe/London}}, or
{{America/Los_Angeles}}, instead of other formats like {{PDT}}, {{PST}}, or
{{BST}}
* if the timezone is not recognized by Oozie, it's best to emit a {{WARN}} log
and suppose {{UTC}} instead of silently ignoring the unknown specified timezone
