Thejas M Nair commented on PIG-1314:
------------------------------------
We also need to have some test cases that set the timezone property. This might
not be easy to do in the e2e framework, so unit test cases are better candidate
for this. Please let me know if you need any help.

> Hadoop/Pig are primarily used to parse log data, and most logs have a
