Rui Li commented on HIVE-14305:
-------------------------------
I think we still need to make timestamp timezone aware. Otherwise, it's
difficult to support UDFs that depends on local timezone, e.g.
current_timestamp, unix_timestamp.
> To/From UTC timestamp may return incorrect result because of DST

> If the machine's local timezone involves DST, the UDFs return incorrect
> results.
> For example:
> {code}
> select to_utc_timestamp('2005-04-03 02:01:00','UTC');
> {code}
> returns {{2005-04-03 03:01:00}}. Correct result should be {{2005-04-03
> 02:01:00}}.
> {code}
> select to_utc_timestamp('2005-04-03 10:01:00','Asia/Shanghai');
> {code}
> returns {{2005-04-03 03:01:00}}. Correct result should be {{2005-04-03
> 02:01:00}}.
