-----------------------------------------------
Hi. I'm starting as a contributor. I would like to work on this. Is anyone else
working on similar changes? HIVE-345, HIVE-2867 and HIVE-6040 are also related
to this.
> Add from_unixtime UDF that has controllable Timezone
> ----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HIVE-6009
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-6009
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: CLI
> Affects Versions: 0.10.0
> Environment: CDH4.4
> Reporter: Johndee Burks
> Priority: Trivial
>
> Currently the from_unixtime UDF takes into a account timezone of the system
> doing the transformation. I think that implementation is good, but it would
> be nice to include or change the current UDF to have a configurable timezone.
> It would be useful for looking at timestamp data from different regions in
> the native region's timezone.
> Example:
> from_unixtime(unix_time, format, timezone)
> from_unixtime(1293840000, dd MMM yyyy, GMT-5)
