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.)
