             Summary: Write support for int96
                 Key: ARROW-1120
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-1120
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: colin nichols


Hi there,

I am trying to use pyarrow to convert CSV files to Parquet for use with Redshift Spectrum.  I've got everything sorted... almost :)

Unfortunately, the only format they accept for timestamp columns is int96.  I understand that int96 timestamps are unofficial/deprecated, but unfortunately it's what I am stuck with for integrating with, at least for the moment.  I contacted Amazon support and 64-bit timestamp support has been added to the list of feature requests, but it's unclear when it will be prioritized/added/released.

In the meantime, I am thinking of adding write support for int96 columns to arrow.  Would that be a welcome addition?

Thanks,
Colin
