>
> Hive uses Java's Timestamp class to manipulate timestamp columns.
> Unfortunately the textual parsing in Timestamp is done in local time and the
> internal storage is in UTC.
> ORC mostly side steps this issue by storing the difference between the time
> and a base time also in local and storing that difference in the file.
> Reading the file between timezones will mostly work correctly "2014-01-01
> 12:34:56" will read correctly in every timezone.
> However, when moving between timezones with different daylight saving it
> creates trouble. In particular, moving from a computer in PST to UTC will
> read "2014-06-06 12:34:56" as "2014-06-06 11:34:56".
