Wes McKinney updated ARROW-637:
-------------------------------
    Description: 
As a metadata-only convenience, it would be useful to have an optional Olson 
time zone name or absolute time offset (e.g. {{+07:30}}) in the {{Timestamp}} 
flatbuffers type: 
https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/format/Message.fbs#L94

Null or length-0 string would indicate that the data is time zone naive, and 
shall not be considered to be localized.
