>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5527
>             Project: Hive
>          Issue Type: Bug
>            Reporter: Remus Rusanu

> A query like 
> SELECT ctimestamp2 from alltypesorc WHERE ctimestamp2 > -10669; 
> returns rows in row mode, but not in vector mode *when running in GMT+2 timezone*. 
> I know what causes this, but I don’t know exactly whether is a bug or not.
> The reading of the TIMESTAMP types is done in TimeStampTreeReader class, 
> long ms = (result.vector[result.isRepeating ? 0 : i] + WriterImpl.BASE_TIMESTAMP)
>               * WriterImpl.MILLIS_PER_SECOND;
>           long ns = parseNanos(nanoVector.vector[nanoVector.isRepeating ? 0 : i]);
>           // the rounding error exists because java always rounds up when dividing integers
>           // -42001/1000 = -42; and -42001 % 1000 = -1 (+ 1000)
>           // to get the correct value we need
>           // (-42 - 1)*1000 + 999 = -42001
>           // (42)*1000 + 1 = 42001
>           if(ms < 0 && ns != 0) {
>             ms -= 1000;
>           }
>           // Convert millis into nanos and add the nano vector value to it
>           result.vector[i] = (ms * 1000000) + ns;
> As you see this relies on the ORC WriterImpl.BASE_TIMESTAMP, which is declared as:
>   static final long BASE_TIMESTAMP =
>       Timestamp.valueOf("2015-01-01 00:00:00").getTime() / MILLIS_PER_SECOND;
> On US/Pacific time, this will be 1420099200
> On EEST (GMT+2) time is 1420063200
> The first row in alltypesorc for ctimestamp2 reads -1420099192 as data[0] and 7005 as nanos[0]. On US/Pacific, with a LONG vector timestamp value of 8875000000. On EEST it ends up with -35992125000000. (Note how the abs(data[0]) value is smaller than the US/Pacific basetime, but bigger than the EEST, so it goes negative on EEST and just cascades to a huge negative number).
> The vector filter simply compares this with -10669 (the query WHERE clause) and it qualifies the row on US/Pacific, but fails on EEST.
> I’m not sure what the right solution is, the whole of Hive code appears to be riddled with Timezone problems. As a side node, the build-common.xml  sets an environment variable TZ to US/Pacific, but this has no effect in running tests on Windows. 
> But the gist of it is this: in row mode the results are consistent on any time zone. In vector mode the results vary (rows qualify for WHERE clause) depending on the timezone.
