Jesus Camacho Rodriguez commented on HIVE-21039:
------------------------------------------------
This was unnoticed in HIVE-12192. Since UDF is returning a timestamp, this
should not be dependent on internal representation of the type and thus it
should not return it in UTC. Instead, we should use user session time zone to
return the correct timestamp.
> CURRENT_TIMESTAMP returns value in UTC time zone

> Key: HIVE-21039
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-21039
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 3.1.1
> Reporter: Andrey Zinovyev
> Assignee: Jesus Camacho Rodriguez
> Priority: Major
>
> We're upgrading from hive 1.2 to 3.1 and it seems like new hive returns
> CURRENT_TIMESTAMP in UTC timezone. But before it was in local (system's
> default) timezone.
> According to HIVE-5472 current_timestamp should use user's local timezone.
> This behaviour was changed in HIVE-12192 (if I got it right).
> GenericUDFCurrentTimestamp now explicitly uses UTC as timezone to initialise
> org.apache.hadoop.hive.common.type.Timestamp .
> For example
> Old hive:
> {code}
> hive> select current_timestamp;
> OK
> 2018-12-12 22:43:39.024
> {code}
> New hive:
> {code}
> > select current_timestamp;
