serramatutu opened a new pull request, #48002: URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/48002
THIS IS A DRAFT. It's being used as reference for the [DISCUSS] thread in the mailing list. ### Rationale for this change Closes XXXX Arrow has no built-in canonical way of representing the `TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE` SQL type, which is present across multiple different database systems. Not having a native way to represent this forces users to either convert to UTC and drop the time zone, or use bespoke workarounds. A new `arrow.timestamp_with_offset` extension type would be a new canonical way of representing that information ### What changes are included in this PR? Proposal and documentation for `arrow.timestamp_with_offset` canonical extension type. ### Are these changes tested? N/A ### Are there any user-facing changes? Yes, this is an extension to the arrow format. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
