Joris Van den Bossche commented on ARROW-17398:
-----------------------------------------------
bq. My assumption is that all timezone information is currently ignored
Indeed, see also the examples in the issue I mentioned above: ARROW-15884
bq. date.h we vendor supports timezone parsing
That's not directly what I understand from that link. It seems to indicate
there is a way to support parsing something like "1999-10-31 00:30:00
US/Pacific PST", but for this issue I think we actually want to parse
"1999-10-31 00:30:00 PST"?
There might also not be an actual solution for this, without requiring more
user input (in general, those time zone abbreviations like PST, EST, CET, etc
are not fully unambiguous)
> [C++] Add support for %Z to strptime

> 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
