Rui Li commented on HIVE-14412:
-------------------------------
Thanks [~xuefuz] for your comments!
bq. TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE is the standard name
Maybe we can name it TIMESTAMP_WITH_TIMEZONE? I don't think we support type
name with spaces right?
I'll rename the classes and draw a summary about the new type.
> Add a timezone-aware timestamp

> Java's Timestamp stores the time elapsed since the epoch. While it's by
> itself unambiguous, ambiguity comes when we parse a string into timestamp, or
> convert a timestamp to string, causing problems like HIVE-14305.
> To solve the issue, I think we should make timestamp aware of timezone.
