+ * For example, "SELECT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP" is transformed into "SELECT CAST(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP AT TIME ZONE 'UTC' AS TIMESTAMP(3))".
+ * This transformation ensures compatibility with Trino due to the following reasons:

+ * (2) In Hive, the return type of CURRENT_TIMESTAMP is timestamp, whereas in Trino, the return type is timestamp with time zone,
