[jira] [Commented] (OOZIE-2867) [Coordinators] Emphasize Region/City timezone format

["Lars Francke (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OOZIE-2867?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17175438#comment-17175438 ] 

Lars Francke commented on OOZIE-2867:
-------------------------------------

The logic for the error message is the wrong way around. It prints warnings for all valid timezones now.

See OOZIE-3608

> It seems that some time zone abbreviations like {{BST}} for British Summer Time silently just do not get accepted correctly by Oozie and the underlying JVM.
> It would be great to:
> * emphasize in the Coordinator Functional Specification that it's best to only use time zone format {{Continent/City}}, like {{Europe/London}}, or {{America/Los_Angeles}}, instead of other formats like {{PDT}}, {{PST}}, or {{BST}}
> * if the timezone is not recognized by Oozie, it's best to emit a {{WARN}} log and suppose {{UTC}} instead of silently ignoring the unknown specified timezone
