Julien Le Dem commented on ARROW-617:
-------------------------------------

The layout in entirely defined by the Type definition which in this instance 
would include the unit. That's what TypeLayout is for on the java side. So that 
would be fixed and clear to the user

> Time type is not specified clearly

> 2 options:
> - Use 64 bits for microseconds and nanoseconds, 32 bits for other units
> - Use 64 bits for everything
> The latter is simpler to implement, the former saves space.
