Re:Parquet: More than just “Turbo CSV” by markhuggins on Tuesday April 04, 2023 @01:27AM (#35435461)
Date is confusing with a timezone (UTC or otherwise) and the doco makes no such suggestion.

The Parquet datatypes documentation is pretty clear that there is a flag isAdjustedToUTC to define if the timestamp should be interpreted as having Instant semantics or Local semantics.

https://github.com/apache/parquet-format/blob/master/Logical...

Still no option to include a TZ offset in the data (so the same datum can be interpreted with both Local and Instant semantics) but not bad really.
