> In the second query, adding one more second will set the time back one hour instead. Plus, there are only {{23 * 3600}} seconds from {{2011-03-12 03:00:00}} to {{2011-03-13 03:00:00}}, instead of {{24 * 3600}} seconds, due to the daylight saving time transition.
> The root cause of the problem is the Spark code at [https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/sql/catalyst/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/sql/catalyst/util/DateTimeUtils.scala#L790] wrongly assumes every day has {{MICROS_PER_DAY}} seconds, and does the day and time-in-day split before looking at the timezone.
> 2. Adding month, quarter, and year silently ignores Int overflow during unit conversion.
> The root cause is [https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/sql/catalyst/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/sql/catalyst/util/DateTimeUtils.scala#L1246]. {{quantity}} is multiplied by {{3}} or {{MONTHS_PER_YEAR}} without checking overflow. Note that we do have overflow checking in adding the amount to the timestamp, so the behavior is inconsistent.
> This can cause counter-intuitive results like this:
> {code:scala}
> scala> spark.sql("select timestampadd(quarter, 1431655764, timestamp'1970-01-01')").show
> +------------------------------------------------------------------+
> |timestampadd(quarter, 1431655764, TIMESTAMP '1970-01-01 00:00:00')|
> +------------------------------------------------------------------+
> |                                               1969-09-01 00:00:00|
> +------------------------------------------------------------------+{code}
> 3. Adding sub-month units (week, day, hour, minute, second, millisecond, microsecond)silently ignores Long overflow during unit conversion.
> This is similar to the previous problem:
> {code:scala}
>  scala> spark.sql("select timestampadd(day, 106751992, timestamp'1970-01-01')").show(false)
> +-------------------------------------------------------------+
> |timestampadd(day, 106751992, TIMESTAMP '1970-01-01 00:00:00')|
