Description

Case 1:

Daily job run through oozie bundle
Coordinator time Zone: UTC
Dataset timezone: America/New_York
Start Time: 2013-10-13T00:00Z
End Time: 2013-10-14T00:00Z

Return from tzOffset() function: 4 hrs (which is correct)

Case 2:

Daily job run through oozie bundle
Coordinator time Zone: UTC
Dataset timezone: America/New_York
Start Time: 2012-11-13T00:00Z
End Time: 2012-11-14T00:00Z

Return from tzOffset() function: 4 hrs (which is not correct as difference between GMT and America/New_York timezone should be 5 hrs).
