Attila Jeges commented on IMPALA-8241:
--------------------------------------

[~stiga-huang] [~tarmstrong]  There's a difference between how Impala and Hive 
interpret  "cast(nanosecs as timestamp)".  By default Impala returns the result 
in UTC, whereas Hive's result is in the local timezone.
E.g..:
select cast(0 as timestamp);

returns "1970-01-01 00:00:00" in Impala and "1970-01-01 01:00:00" in Hive on my 
machine (local timezone is set to Europe/Budapest).

As [~tarmstrong] mentioned the '-use_local_tz_for_unix_timestamp_conversions' 
flag can make Impala behave like Hive.
