A general observation: it might be useful to get back to the message
of Julian Hyde in the previous email thread about this 2 weeks ago
(https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r5a89aa20b1cb812dc01a3817a5bfb365971577986d586dcc7ee21e72%40%3Cdev.arrow.apache.org%3E).
Quoting part of that email:

Good time libraries support all. E.g. Jodatime [1] has

* DateTime - full date and time with time-zone
* LocalDateTime - date-time without a time-zone

I recommend that Arrow supports all three. Choose clear, distinct
names for all three, consistent with names used elsewhere in the
industry.
It seems to me that we are discussing whether our "timestamp without
timezone" should be interpreted as a LocalDateTime or as an Instant
(since interpreting it as UTC makes it an Instant, I think). Is that a
correct / helpful framing?
That is correct, IMHO.
