Julian Hyde commented on ARROW-413:
-----------------------------------
I think you have to specify semantics. Does a date value represent an instant
(implicitly an offset from the UTC epoch) or is it a timezone-less value that
each person can interpret in whichever timezone they want (say, their local
timezone).
> DATE type is not specified clearly
