------------------------------------
Related to ARROW-12820.
> [C++] Allow timestamp parser to parse offset strings
> ----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-13348
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-13348
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: C++
> Reporter: Weston Pace
> Priority: Major
>
> Neither the ISO8601 parser nor the strptime parser support parsing timezone
> offset strings (e.g. {{2017-08-19 12:22:11.802755+00}}). These are sometimes
> emitted by other tools (e.g. Postgresql) and should be supported for
> compatibility. I think it's acceptable for them to parse to Timestamp(units,
> "UTC") or Timestamp(units, offset) whichever is more convenient.
> This issue doesn't necessarily require supporting tzdata timezone names (e.g.
> "America/Denver", etc.) and those technically aren't ISO8601 compliant
> anyways.
> Support should be added to both the ISO-8601 parser (which should support
> 00:00, 0000, and 00) and the strptime parser (which should add support for
> %z).
