             Summary: several timezone conversion tests are failing within test-with-docker context
                 Key: IMPALA-7385
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-7385
             Project: IMPALA
          Issue Type: Task
            Reporter: Philip Zeyliger


The following tests tend to fail when using test-with-docker. What's common about them is that they're doing a time zone conversion.

{code}
 metadata.test_show_create_table.TestShowCreateTable.test_show_create_table[table_format: text/none]	1 min 23 sec	19
 query_test.test_queries.TestHdfsQueries.test_hdfs_scan_node[exec_option: {'batch_size': 0, 'num_nodes': 0, 'disable_codegen_rows_threshold': 0, 'disable_codegen': False, 'abort_on_error': 1, 'debug_action': None, 'exec_single_node_rows_threshold': 0} | table_format: orc/def/block]	4.1 sec	58
 query_test.test_scanners.TestOrc.test_type_conversions[exec_option: {'batch_size': 0, 'num_nodes': 0, 'disable_codegen_rows_threshold': 0, 'disable_codegen': False, 'abort_on_error': 1, 'debug_action': None, 'exec_single_node_rows_threshold': 0} | table_format: orc/def/block]	16 sec	58
 ExprTest.TimestampFunctions
{code}

It turns out that people parse {{readlink(/etc/localtime)}} to find out the current time zone. This got noticeable when the ORC change landed (though I've seen that one come and go) and then very frequently when we changed time zone DBs. (Or so I think.)

I have a simple change forthcoming.
