Description
This is a best practice, and also makes it easier to work with Oozie. From http://archive.cloudera.com/cdh4/cdh/4/oozie/CoordinatorFunctionalSpec.html#a7._Handling_Timezones_and_Daylight_Saving_Time:
the coordinator engine works exclusively in UTC, and dataset and application definitions are always expressed in UTC
The document then goes on to describe how make sure datasets are correctly processed around DST boundaries.
