Hi Andrey,
Thanks for reporting this. This is a bug introduced by the JIRA you reference,
since CURRENT_TIMESTAMP should not use UTC for every case. I have created
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-21039 to fix the issue and discuss
about the desired behavior.

Subject: CURRENT_TIMESTAMP timezone in hive 3.1
We're upgrading from hive 1.2 to 3.1 and it seems like new hive returns
CURRENT_TIMESTAMP in UTC timezone. But before it was in local (system's
default) timezone.
According to HIVE-5472 current_timestamp should use user's local timezone. This
behaviour was changed in HIVE-12192 (if I got it right).
GenericUDFCurrentTimestamp now explicitly uses UTC as timezone to initialise
org.apache.hadoop.hive.common.type.Timestamp
Is it some intentional change or some misconfiguration from on our side?
For example
Old hive:
hive> select current_timestamp;
OK
2018-12-12 22:43:39.024
New hive:
> select current_timestamp;
