Zoltan Ivanfi commented on SPARK-12297:
---------------------------------------
Yes, we reverted that change, because without a corresponding change in
SparkSQL, it can not achieve interoperability in itself. We can only fix this
issue by addressing all affected components (SparkSQL, Hive and Impala) at the
same time in a consistent manner.
> Add work-around for Parquet/Hive int96 timestamp bug.
> -----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-12297
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-12297
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: Spark Core
> Reporter: Ryan Blue
>
> Spark copied Hive's behavior for parquet, but this was inconsistent with
> other file formats, and inconsistent with Impala (which is the original
> source of putting a timestamp as an int96 in parquet, I believe). This made
> timestamps in parquet act more like timestamps with timezones, while in other
> file formats, timestamps have no time zone, they are a "floating time".
> The easiest way to see this issue is to write out a table with timestamps in
> multiple different formats from one timezone, then try to read them back in
> another timezone. Eg., here I write out a few timestamps to parquet and
> textfile hive tables, and also just as a json file, all in the
> "America/Los_Angeles" timezone:
> {code}
> import org.apache.spark.sql.Row
> import org.apache.spark.sql.types._
> val tblPrefix = args(0)
> val schema = new StructType().add("ts", TimestampType)
> val rows = sc.parallelize(Seq(
> "2015-12-31 23:50:59.123",
> "2015-12-31 22:49:59.123",
> "2016-01-01 00:39:59.123",
> "2016-01-01 01:29:59.123"
> ).map { x => Row(java.sql.Timestamp.valueOf(x)) })
> val rawData = spark.createDataFrame(rows, schema).toDF()
> rawData.show()
> Seq("parquet", "textfile").foreach { format =>
> val tblName = s"${tblPrefix}_$format"
> spark.sql(s"DROP TABLE IF EXISTS $tblName")
> spark.sql(
> raw"""CREATE TABLE $tblName (
> | ts timestamp
> | )
> | STORED AS $format
> """.stripMargin)
> rawData.write.insertInto(tblName)
> }
> rawData.write.json(s"${tblPrefix}_json")
> {code}
> Then I start a spark-shell in "America/New_York" timezone, and read the data
> back from each table:
> {code}
> scala> spark.sql("select * from la_parquet").collect().foreach{println}
> [2016-01-01 02:50:59.123]
> [2016-01-01 01:49:59.123]

> The textfile and json based data shows the same times, and can be joined
> against each other, while the times from the parquet data have changed (and
> obviously joins fail).
> This is a big problem for any organization that may try to read the same data
> (say in S3) with clusters in multiple timezones. It can also be a nasty
> surprise as an organization tries to migrate file formats. Finally, its a
> source of incompatibility between Hive, Impala, and Spark.
> HIVE-12767 aims to fix this by introducing a table property which indicates
> the "storage timezone" for the table. Spark should add the same to ensure
> consistency between file formats, and with Hive & Impala.
