@martin-g Great question. The history originates from Hive where you have multiple Timezone types. They store the same information, but when writing the fields they behave differently. They have [an excellent doc on this](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Different+TIMESTAMP+types) that explains the different types. To make it even more confusing: - `timestamp-**` maps to `TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE`, or Java `Instant` - `local-timestamp-**` maps to `TIMESTAMP WITHOUT TIME ZONE`, or Java `LocalDateTime` -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
