> FROM_UNIXTIME() accepts a format parameter that is a string that represents how this function should format its output timestamp. This format parameter can contain a timezone offset, however even if we provide a TZ offset in the format parameter it won't be included in the result.
> The reason is that Impala stores Timestamp without timezone in UTC and has no information of the timezone offset.
> I think it would be nice to clarify this in the docs so that the users won't expect to get specific timezone offsets from this function as a result.
