Aihua Xu commented on HIVE-3454:
--------------------------------
I agree that for non thread-safe statics, it will cause problems for
multi-threading, while for constants or immutable objects, I guess you would
share across threads rather than creating each copy for each thread. This is
the case of a java primitive that we initialize once and use/read later by
threads.
Regarding UDF approach, I looked into that and it seems promising, while the
current approach actually only evaluates the value when the type is timestamp.
I guess it would be the same as UDF approach.

> Ran into an issue while working with timestamp conversion.
> CAST(unix_timestamp() as TIMESTAMP) should create a timestamp for the current
> time from the BIGINT returned by unix_timestamp()
> Instead, however, a 1970-01-16 timestamp is returned.
