shyam narayan singh commented on ARROW-4446:
For the timezone implementation, we are using the operating systems timezone
database. For windows, the expectation is IANA database is downloaded into the
required location as specified below.
REF : [https://howardhinnant.github.io/date/tz.html]
1. USE_OS_TZDB : If {{USE_OS_TZDB}} is {{1}} then this library will use the
zic-compiled time zone database provided by your OS. This option relieves you
of having to install the IANA time zone database, either manually, or
automatically with {{AUTO_DOWNLOAD}}. This option is not available on Windows.
2. If the macro {{INSTALL}} is not defined, the default location of the
database is {{~/Downloads/tzdata}}({{%homedrive%\%homepath%\downloads\tzdata}}
on Windows).
3. On Windows, {{HAS_REMOTE_API}} defaults to {{0}}. Everywhere else it
defaults to {{1}}. This is because [{{libcurl}}|https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/]
comes preinstalled everywhere but Windows, but it is available for Windows.
4. If you want to enable {{HAS_REMOTE_API}} and/or {{AUTO_DOWNLOAD}} on Windows
you will have to manually install [curl|https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/] and
[7-zip|http://www.7-zip.org/] into their default locations.
5. If you do not enable {{HAS_REMOTE_API}}, you will need to also install
[http://unicode.org/repos/cldr/trunk/common/supplemental/windowsZones.xml] into
your {{install}} location. This will be done for you if you have enabled
{{HAS_REMOTE_API}} and let {{AUTO_DOWNLOAD}} default to 1.
