Kenneth Knowles commented on CALCITE-2394:
------------------------------------------
FWIW here I've recently realized that Beam SQL is probably backwards. We have
been mapping an absolute Joda-style instant to the Calcite type TIMESTAMP which
is pretty explicitly wrong. We probably need to decide between `TIMESTAMP WITH
TIMEZONE` to make it an absolute time (with extraneous metadata) versus
`TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIMEZONE` which to be honest I don't really understand.
> Avatica applies calendar offset to timestamps when they should remain
> unchanged

> Key: CALCITE-2394
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-2394
> Project: Calcite
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: avatica
> Reporter: Kenneth Knowles
> Assignee: Kenneth Knowles
> Priority: Major
>
> This code converts a millis-since-epoch value to a timestamp in three
> different accessors:
> {code}
> class AbstractCursor {
> ...
> static Timestamp longToTimestamp(long v, Calendar calendar) {
> if (calendar != null) {
> v -= calendar.getTimeZone().getOffset(v);
> }
> return new Timestamp(v);
> }
> }
> {code}
> But {{new Timestamp(millis)}} always accepts millis-since-epoch in GMT.
> The use in {{DateFromNumberAccessor}} is probably OK: it fabricates
> millis-since-epoch from a date, so applying the offset is appropriate to hit
> midnight in that locale.
> But both {{TimeFromNumberAccessor}} and {{TimestampFromNumberAccessor}}
> should leave the millis absolute.
> This manifests as timestamp actual values being shifted by the current locale
> (in addition to later display adjustments).
