Rok Mihevc commented on ARROW-14947:
------------------------------------
[~thisisnic] sorry this wasn't a really duplicate as it covers the R side of
things. ARROW-11090 is mostly done so perhaps we should reopen this?
> [C++] Implement maths with timestamps

> Please could we have maths with timestamps implemented?
> In order to implement some of the functionality I'd like in R, I need to be
> able to do maths with dates. For example:
> * Addition and subtraction: Timestamp + Duration = Timestamp (with and
> without rollback so have ability to do e.g. 2021-03-30 minus 1 month and
> either get a null back, or 2021-02-28), plus the ability to specify whether
> to rollback to the first or last, and whether to preserve or rest the time.
> See https://lubridate.tidyverse.org/reference/mplus.html for documentation of
> the R functionality.
> * Multiplying Durations: Duration * Numeric = Duration
