@wgtmac , thanks for the feedback. Please bear with me for a bit, as it is
first time I am touching ORC code base.
OK, I think ```TypeDescription``` is not a problem then since we set the
value at reader / writer, independently of the default that we use at creation
time. For reader, everything seems easy. However, for the writer, it is a bit
trickier since the stripe footer stores the information about the time zone,
hence it should be set beforehand using, e.g., the context or options objects.
Does that seem reasonable?
> Support time zone as a parameter for Java reader and writer

> Key: ORC-341
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ORC-341
> Project: ORC
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Jesus Camacho Rodriguez
> Priority: Major
>
> Currently, time zone is hardcoded as the system default time zone and ORC
> applies displacement between timestamp values read/written based on time zone.
> This issue aims at adding the option to pass the time zone as a parameter to
> the reader/writer.
