I have a written a neo4j kernel plugin in java to perform a specific data load we need into the DB.
The nodes we create are time zone cognizant. Within our code we set the load time of the node using
LocalDateTime.now()
Up until the end of march it was running without issues. At the end of march clock was moved to DST. Now the latter piece of code returns the time but without the +1 hour DST so it is actually one hour behind.
Neo4j version 3.5.1
Neo4j is running on centOS 7.
TimeZone is set correctly and the OS returns the correct time in both TZ and DST.
in neo4j.conf we have the following:
dbms.logs.timezone=SYSTEM
dbms.jvm.additional=-Duser.timezone="Asia/Jerusalem"
db.temporal.timezone=Asia/Jerusalem
when running
with localDateTime() as now return now
I get the correct time with +1 DST.
Neo4j logs and my plugin code both don't get the correct time and are 1 hour behind.
If i check jshell on the neo4j machine and see what time is returned from LocalDateTime.now() I get the correct time. So it does not seem to be a java issue but it seems that neo4j core somehow disregards the DST in the timezone settings or even changes that setting.
I'll appreciate any help or clarification on this issue that may help me resolve this.
Tnx
