Jacques Nadeau commented on ARROW-617: -------------------------------------- I propose two: 32bit micro and 64bit nano. Agree with simplicity. However, I also think that paying for an extra 4 bytes for the rare case is suboptimal. I'd be surprised if the base 10 shift for the other versions would be a huge problem for most systems. > Time type is not specified clearly > ---------------------------------- > > Key: ARROW-617 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-617 > Project: Apache Arrow > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Format > Reporter: Julien Le Dem > > 2 options: > - Use 64 bits for microseconds and nanoseconds, 32 bits for other units > - Use 64 bits for everything > The latter is simpler to implement, the former saves space. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
