[jira] [Created] (ARROW-5545) Clarify expectation of UTC values for timestamps with time zones in C++ API docs

TP Boudreau created ARROW-5545:
----------------------------------

             Summary: Clarify expectation of UTC values for timestamps with time zones in C++ API docs
                 Key: ARROW-5545
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-5545
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: TP Boudreau
            Assignee: TP Boudreau
             Fix For: 0.14.0


For timestamp datatypes, if the timezone parameter is non-empty, the int64 array values in the associated column are assumed to be normalized to UTC.  This requirement should be made clear to the C++ API user.  (It can be inferred from the flatbuffers schema, but that internal implementation document probably wouldn't ordinarily be consulted by a C++ API consumer.)
