----------------------------------------
Thanks for letting me know.
I've just created SPARK-32123 which marks affected version as 3.0.0.
> [Python] Setting `spark.sql.session.timeZone` only partially respected
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-25244
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-25244
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: PySpark
> Affects Versions: 2.3.1
> Reporter: Anton Daitche
> Priority: Major
> Labels: bulk-closed
>
> The setting `spark.sql.session.timeZone` is respected by PySpark when
> converting from and to Pandas, as described
> [here|http://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/sql-programming-guide.html#timestamp-with-time-zone-semantics].
> However, when timestamps are converted directly to Pythons `datetime`
> objects, its ignored and the systems timezone is used.
> This can be checked by the following code snippet
> {code:java}
> import pyspark.sql
> spark = (pyspark
> .sql
> .SparkSession
> .builder
> .master('local[1]')
> .config("spark.sql.session.timeZone", "UTC")
> .getOrCreate()
> )
> df = spark.createDataFrame([("2018-06-01 01:00:00",)], ["ts"])
> df = df.withColumn("ts", df["ts"].astype("timestamp"))
> print(df.toPandas().iloc[0,0])
> print(df.collect()[0][0])
> {code}
> Which for me prints (the exact result depends on the timezone of your system,
> mine is Europe/Berlin)
> {code:java}
> 2018-06-01 01:00:00
> 2018-06-01 03:00:00
> {code}
> Hence, the method `toPandas` respected the timezone setting (UTC), but the
> method `collect` ignored it and converted the timestamp to my systems
> timezone.
> The cause for this behaviour is that the methods `toInternal` and
> `fromInternal` of PySparks `TimestampType` class don't take into account the
> setting `spark.sql.session.timeZone` and use the system timezone.
> If the maintainers agree that this should be fixed, I would try to come up
> with a patch.
