 Hi,
 
 While reviewing the Pull Request for this issue:

 I realized that we can improve the default TimestampType as follows:
 
 1. We could make it parameterizable so that it can also take a custom
 timezone (UTC) during mapping.
 2. We could also define a default timezone so that we don't rely on the JVM
 one. This might be desirable when the UI requires to display the time in a
 certain timezone, while we want to save all timestamps in UTC. 
Or a component injecting the desired timezone
