rachel88888 opened a new issue, #125: URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow-java/issues/125
### Describe the bug, including details regarding any error messages, version, and platform. In apache/arrow#35352, there was a [timezone check](https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/main/java/vector/src/main/java/org/apache/arrow/vector/TimeStampMicroTZVector.java#L164-L166) added to the `TimeStamp*TZVector.set` methods that verified that the `*TimeStamp*TZHolder` had the same timezone as the vector that was being set. Before this change was committed, this snippet to unset the value at an index worked: ``` TimeStampMicroTZVector vector = new TimeStampMicroTZVector("vector", allocator, "UTC"); NullableTimeStampMicroTZHolder holder = new NullableTimeStampMicroTZHolder(); vector.setSafe(0, holder); ``` However, after the change, it now throws `IllegalArgumentException: holder.timezone: null not equal to vector timezone: UTC` when trying to unset the value in the vector. We currently have a workaround for this issue by explicitly setting `holder.timezone = vector.getTimeZone();` before calling the `setSafe` method. I'm wondering if it is expected behavior to require that `holder.timezone` match the vector's timezone when unsetting the value. It also differs from the `get` behavior which [does not set the timezone on the holder when the vector's value is unset](https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/main/java/vector/src/main/java/org/apache/arrow/vector/TimeStampMicroTZVector.java#L121-L123). I'm happy to help submit a patch if the existing behavior is indeed unintended. ### Component(s) Java -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
