Thanks for the suggestion! This would need to be suggested at an Arrow specification level, for which the suggestion ought to be posted to apache/arrow instead of apache/arrow-dotnet. I find it somewhat unlikely that this would be accepted, because while the 100ns tick is a super-useful place on the tradeoff between precision and range (given a fixed bit size), it seems to be used almost exclusively inside Microsoft-related ecosystems. What might be a more interesting proposal is something which aligns with database-level specifications like datetime(x) where x is the number of digits of precision. For ticks, x would be seven. This could also be done as a standardized extension type. (The arrow-dotnet library doesn't yet have great support for extension types, but I'm trying to find time to work on that.) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
