> {{In many systems there is a difference between a timezone-naive timestamp column (called DATETIME in BigQuery, 'logicalType': 'datetime' in Avro) and a timezone-aware timestamp (called TIMESTAMP in BigQuery and always stored in UTC). It seems from [this discussion|https://github.com/apache/parquet-format/pull/51#discussion_r119911623] and the [list of logical types|https://github.com/apache/parquet-format/blob/master/LogicalTypes.md] that parquet only has the timezone-aware version, as all timestamps are stored according to UTC.}}
