Micah Kornfield commented on ARROW-15492:
-----------------------------------------
On the exposing the write field, per the other Jira I don't think we should do
it. It makes it much harder to deal with bugs that might occur in a particular
version of the library.
{quote}Or handle the timestamp type with timezone which files created by
parquet-mr?

I'm not familiar with this, could you link the to specification on this or
provide more details? It seems like this might be a better approach.

> Hi there,
> I face an issue when I write a parquet file by PyArrow.
> In the older version of Hive, it can only recognize the timestamp type stored
> in INT96, so I use table.write_to_data with `use_deprecated
> timestamp_int96_timestamps=True` option to save the parquet file. But the
> HiveQL will skip conversion when the metadata of parquet file is not
> created_by "parquet-mr".

> So I have to save the timestamp columns with timezone info(pad to UTC+8).
> But when pyarrow.parquet read from a dir which contains parquets created by
> both PyArrow and parquet-mr, Arrow.Table will ignore the timezone info for
> parquet-mr files.
>
> Maybe PyArrow can expose the created_by option in pyarrow({*}prefer{*},
> parquet::WriterProperties::created_by is available in the C++ ).
> Or handle the timestamp type with timezone which files created by parquet-mr?

> Maybe related to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-14422
