Hi, Thanks for read this email.
I have used oozie for about 2 years. Now I have encountered one problem about the time zone. Because we located at GMT+08:00 timezone, our Hadoop system makes the convention that all the data path on the HDFS is named by the GMT+08:00 timezone. That means: At UTC 2015-01-01T00:00Z, the output hourly data located under this folder: $root/2015010108, not the $root/2015010100 At UTC 2015-01-01T01:00Z, the output hourly data located under this folder: $root/2015010109, not the $root/2015010101 So if I set the timezone in the coord to UTC, the oozie job will read the data of 00 hour, but I want it to read the 08. For me in Beijing, China, it is natural for me to understand that the oozie job will read the 08 data at local 08:00 I also tried to set the timezone to GMT+08:00, it didn’t work. Seems the timezone only impact the “Daylight Saving Time”. Currently I add 8 to my instance number in the coord to fix it temporarily : Change From <instance>0</instance> to <instance>8</instance> This may be acceptable for hourly job. But it is really ugly to minutes jobs or dailyl jobs. Almost unreadable for human. So how can I solve this problem? Thanks, Jian
