Uwe L. Korn commented on ARROW-413: ----------------------------------- Looking at the current implementation, it seems that the constructor of {{org.joda.time.DateTime}} is called with a {{long}} and thus is interpreted by joda as milliseconds since 1970. So it actually is similar to Timestamp expect that it has no explicit unit. > DATE type is not specified clearly > ---------------------------------- > > Key: ARROW-413 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-413 > Project: Apache Arrow > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Format > Affects Versions: 0.1.0 > Reporter: Uwe L.
