Hey Parquet devs,

It seems that in parquet-mr, INT96 is always treated as FIXED_LENGTH_BYTE_ARRAY(12). I wonder is it reasonable to say that INT96 is just a convenient alias of FIXED_LENGTH_BYTE_ARRAY(12)? Are there any semantics/performance differences? Currently, the only case where I found INT96 is useful is for representing timestamp type with nanosec precision in Impala. Did I miss something here?

Best,
Cheng
