Currently it is hardcoded (if the env variable is not set) to "/usr/share/zoneinfo" (https://github.com/apache/orc/blob/0b4631bc343ed559e284ea6f824f31890f798e31/c%2B%2B/src/Timezone.cc#L33-L34) I am not super familiar about whether there are standard ways to get a "user" or "app" prefix (we use `$PREFIX` in our (conda) CI, but that's because we set that ourselves, not necessarily because that is a standard?). For conda you can get this as `$CONDA_PREFIX`, but I don't know if you want to include conda specific code in the ORC library itself. Another option would also be to allow to specify a path at run time (we do that in Arrow for the tz database that is used by the kernels with `arrow::GlobalOptions:;timezone_db_path`), and then in the (py)arrow code we could be more opinionated about which path to set. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
