-----------------------------------

             Summary: [Python] Document semantic differences between Spark 
timestamps and Arrow timestamps
                 Key: ARROW-1425
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-1425
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Python
            Reporter: Wes McKinney
             Fix For: 0.7.0


The way that Spark treats non-timezone-aware timestamps as session local can be 
problematic when using pyarrow which may view the data coming from toPandas() 
as time zone naive (but with fields as though it were UTC, not session local). 
We should document carefully how to properly handle the data coming from Spark 
to avoid problems.
