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

Wes McKinney commented on ARROW-5545:
-------------------------------------
Reopening. I think the C++ header files should make it clear what is expected, this seems like an opportunity to improve them

> 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.)
