[jira] [Comment Edited] (ARROW-3543) [R] Time zone adjustment issue when reading Feather file written by Python

Hi Neal, 

Sorry for the formatting....yes it seems that read_delim_arrow detects it is a POSIXct, format....
 I tried another test and split the datetime field into date and time fields.

Now the date field is a POSIXct, format, and the time is a character.

But the date field is one day before and at time of 17:00:00:
 Classes ‘tbl_df’, ‘tbl’ and 'data.frame': 10 obs. of 7 variables:
 $ Date : POSIXct, format: "2019-09-10 17:00:00" "2019-09-10 17:00:00" "2019-09-10 17:00:00" "2019-09-10 17:00:00" ...
 $ Time : chr "21:36:22" "21:36:22" "22:43:58" "22:43:58" ...
 $ LogLevel : chr "[INFO]" "[INFO]" "[INFO]" "[INFO]" ...

tbl_df:

> Hello the dream team,
> Pasting from [https://github.com/wesm/feather/issues/351]
> Thanks for this wonderful package. I was playing with feather and some timestamps and I noticed some dangerous behavior. Maybe it is a bug.
> Consider this
>  
> {code:java}
> import pandas as pd
> import feather
> import numpy as np
> df = pd.DataFrame(
> {'string_time_utc' : [pd.to_datetime('2018-02-01 14:00:00.531'), pd.to_datetime('2018-02-01 14:01:00.456'), pd.to_datetime('2018-03-05 14:01:02.200')]}
> )
> df['timestamp_est'] = pd.to_datetime(df.string_time_utc).dt.tz_localize('UTC').dt.tz_convert('US/Eastern').dt.tz_localize(None)
> df
>  Out[17]: 
>  string_time_utc timestamp_est
>  0 2018-02-01 14:00:00.531 2018-02-01 09:00:00.531
>  1 2018-02-01 14:01:00.456 2018-02-01 09:01:00.456
>  2 2018-03-05 14:01:02.200 2018-03-05 09:01:02.200
> {code}
> Here I create the corresponding `EST` timestamp of my original timestamps (in `UTC` time).
> Now saving the dataframe to `csv` or to `feather` will generate two completely different results.
>  
> {code:java}
> df.to_csv('P://testing.csv')
> df.to_feather('P://testing.feather')
> {code}
> Switching to R.
> Using the good old `csv` gives me something a bit annoying, but expected. R thinks my timezone is `UTC` by default, and wrongly attached this timezone to `timestamp_est`. No big deal, I can always use `with_tz` or even better: import as character and process as timestamp while in R.
>  
> {code:java}
> > dataframe <- read_csv('P://testing.csv')
>  Parsed with column specification:
>  cols(
>  X1 = col_integer(),
>  string_time_utc = col_datetime(format = ""),
>  timestamp_est = col_datetime(format = "")
>  )
>  Warning message:
>  Missing column names filled in: 'X1' [1] 
>  > 
>  > dataframe %>% mutate(mytimezone = tz(timestamp_est))
