- Timestamp values _with time zone_ represent a point in time: values are
stored as UTC and do not retain a source time zone (`2017-11-16 17:10:34 PST`
is stored/retrieved as `2017-11-17 01:10:34 UTC` and these values are
considered identical).
- Timestamp values _without time zone_ represent a date and time of day
regardless of zone: the time value is independent of zone adjustments
(`2017-11-16 17:10:34` is always retrieved as `2017-11-16 17:10:34`).

precise locations on earth. Defaults to "OGC:CRS84". Fixed and cannot be
changed by schema evolution.
Review Comment:
@wgtmac We should add this value to the Parquet spec for sure. CC
@zhangfengcdt
@szehon-ho There is another situation mentioned in the GeoParquet spec: `If
the CRS field presents but its value is null, it means the data is in unknown
CRS`. This situation happens sometimes because the writer somehow cannot find
or lose the CRS info. Do we want to support this? I think we can use the `empty
string` to cover this case
