### Time (millisecond precision) {#time_ms}
The `time-millis` logical type represents a time of day, with no reference to a particular calendar, time zone or date, with a precision of one millisecond.
### Times {#times}{#time_ms}
The `time-{millis,micros,nanos}` logical type represents a time of day, with no reference to a particular calendar, time zone or date.

A `time-millis` logical type annotates an Avro `int`, where the int stores the number of milliseconds after midnight, 00:00:00.000.

### Time (microsecond precision)
The `time-micros` logical type represents a time of day, with no reference to a particular calendar, time zone or date, with a precision of one microsecond.

A `time-micros` logical type annotates an Avro `long`, where the long stores the number of microseconds after midnight, 00:00:00.000000.

### Timestamps {#timestamps}
A `time-nanos` logical type annotates an Avro `long`, where the long stores the number of nanoseconds after midnight, 00:00:00.000000.

### Timestamps {#timestamps}
The `timestamp-{millis,micros,nanos}` logical type represents an instant on the global timeline, independent of a particular time zone or calendar. Upon reading a value back, we can only reconstruct the instant, but not the original representation. In practice, such timestamps are typically displayed to users in their local time zones, therefore they may be displayed differently depending on the execution environment.
