Descripción
The rules for TIMESTAMP forward-compatibility were created based on the assumption that TIMESTAMP_MILLIS and TIMESTAMP_MICROS have only been used in the instant aka. UTC-normalized semantics so far.
From this false premise it followed that TIMESTAMPs with local semantics were a new type and did not need to be annotated with the old types to maintain compatibility. In fact, annotating them with the old types were considered to be harmful, since it would have mislead older readers into thinking that they can read TIMESTAMPs with local semantics, when in reality they would have misinterpreted them as TIMESTAMPs with instant semantics. This would have lead to a difference of several hours, corresponding to the time zone offset.
In reality, however, this misinterpretation of timestamps has already been going on for a while, since Arrow annotates local timestamps with TIMESTAMP_MILLIS or TIMESTMAP_MICROS.
To maintain forward compatibilty of local timestamps, Arrow annotates them with the legacy timestamp logical types. However, the Java library considers these logical types to be incompatible and discards the new type in favour of the legacy ones (since doing the other way around would change the behaviour). Parquet-mr should be updated so that it accepts this combination of new and old logical types.

Línea de trabajo
Lee primero el issue y la discusión vinculada de la lista de correo, y luego sigue el tratamiento que hace parquet-java de los tipos lógicos de marca de tiempo y las comprobaciones de compatibilidad de la biblioteca Java. Confirma el comportamiento de las marcas de tiempo locales de Arrow anotadas con TIMESTAMP_MILLIS o TIMESTAMP_MICROS; el trabajo se considera completado cuando esta combinación se acepta sin descartar el nuevo tipo.
