Julian Hyde commented on DRILL-621:
-----------------------------------
I disagree with that approach. I think timezones should be represented as
strings. The interpretation of the strings is left to a timezone library.
The strings can probably be dictionary encoded, so won't take more than a few
bits in practice.
> Timezone map should be exposed as a protobuf enum

>
> The Timezone map in DateUtility should be exposed as a protobuf enum so that
> the TimeStampTZ type can be decoded by an RPC client (e.g. the C++ client).
> This is also useful if newer timezones are created: older timezone values
> will not be lost and newer values will be automatically available to newer
> builds.
