   > Due to all of the above I've found it useful in OLTP systems to keep all 
timestamps as UTC and convert to the user locale when displaying.
   
   I think this is best practice for all new OLTP and OLAP systems (always 
store data as UTC and then render into user locale as desired).
   
   I think what makes it tougher in OLAP system is that the data being 
processed is often  created outside of Datafusion (aka in parquet or CSV files 
from some other system) which can and unforuntaely do write dates / times / 
timestamps other than UTC
   
   In general, I would be a big fan of trying if possible of having datafusion 
normlize all data on input to UTC prior to processing but I worry this might 
not be a good idea for performance reasons.
