Joris Van den Bossche commented on ARROW-17398:
-----------------------------------------------
This is labeled as an R issue, but it is essentially a feature request for the
C++ kernel, right? Because as far as I know, currently it "recognizes" the %Z
flag (so you can parse strings that have a timezone name in it), but then
simply ignores any matching name in the string, based on what I wrote in
ARROW-15884
> [R] Add support for %Z to strptime
> -----------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-17398
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-17398
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: R
> Reporter: Rok Mihevc
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: kernel
>
> While lubridate does not support %Z flag for strptime Arrow could.
> Changes to C++ kernels might be required for support on all platforms, but
> that shouldn't block implementation as kStrptimeSupportsZone flag can be
> used, [see
> proposal|https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/13854#issuecomment-1212694663].
