> I'm a maintainer for the Python library dlt and my practical goal is to be able to use connector-x as a dependency. This library uses the Rust crate arrow and brings significant performance improvements. Please note [`arrow-rs` has a separate issue tracker](https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/issues/), while here we now mostly track C++ implementation and it's wrappers. I am not intimately familiar with the rust implementation so perhaps you want to ask there too. > Given what you know, do you think that connector-x adopting tzdata format instead of offsets or UTC could be a lasting solution? For instance, Africa/Bissau seems to match UTC or +00:00 (could be facing daylight saving time issues?). Alternatively, I could modify dlt code to any +00:00 offsets into UTC As far as I know `UTC`, `Etc/UCT`, `Etc/GMT`, `Etc/GMT+X`, `Etc/GMT-X` are all valid timezones that are equivalent to `+/-XX:00` offsets. As long as you don't need `+/-XX:30` offsets (I don't know why this is a thing) and logic for mapping offset strings into offset timezones (e.g. `-10:00` => `Etc/GMT-10:00`) can be put somewhere this should imo be a lasting solution. Probably it'd be better if we didn't use offsets at all, but that is probably not a realistic option. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
