Brian Johnson commented on PIG-4267:
------------------------------------
Really all of this code needs to be refactored. It should never have been so
tightly coupled to joda in the first place. There should be a wrapper method
for setting the default time zone that can be used internally and for the
tests. I'm happy to make that change if you have a good suggestion for where
that method should go. There are a lot of other issues I see as well looking
through this code. For instance: CustomFormatToISO sets the default timezone to
UTC. I haven't tried it, but I'm guessing that using that function will
obliterate your existing timezone settings since it never captures and returns
to the existing timezone. There could also be some multithreading issues there
even if it did return to it??
> ToDate has incorrect timezone offsets

> Pig will return "2012-03-30 -05:00" for ToDate(1333166400000) instead of the
