Setting timezone jvm parameter for hadoop jobs

[#1]

Hi,

I'm trying to set default timezone jvm property for running hadoop jobs. I looked at the following property

SET mapred.child.java.opts=-Duser.timezone=GMT

I have this set in my hadoop config. But, I still see the jobs picking up local timezone for processing.

Is there any additional configuration required for hadoop processes? Thanks for the inputs.

The value looks right. Please take a look at the following link for more details:

Thank you. I'm still not seeing default timezone set to GMT inside apache pig process.

I believe the following properties need to be set for Hadoop 2.x versions

mapreduce.map.java.opts and

mapreduce.reduce.java.opts

and mapred.child.java.opts for < 2.x versions.
