TP Boudreau created ARROW-5545: ---------------------------------- Summary: Clarify expectation of UTC values for timestamps with time zones in C++ API docs Key: ARROW-5545 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-5545 Project: Apache Arrow Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: TP Boudreau Assignee: TP Boudreau Fix For: 0.14.0
For timestamp datatypes, if the timezone parameter is non-empty, the int64 array values in the associated column are assumed to be normalized to UTC. This requirement should be made clear to the C++ API user. (It can be inferred from the flatbuffers schema, but that internal implementation document probably wouldn't ordinarily be consulted by a C++ API consumer.) -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
