Luke Higgins commented on ARROW-316:
------------------------------------
sure you don't want to account for leap seconds? On CentOS7 for example unix
time from date command does give current UTC (which is adjusted for leap
seconds). If I am timestamping events on my unix host and storing them the
timestamp will most likely be UTC (modulo timezone locale perhaps)
