We'll want to deprecate those and move away from them. We're trying to
get support for real timestamps, along with backward-compatibility for
existing data, as soon as possible. I'm trying to get a commitment for
the next point release of CDH to fix it.

The only place it is used is for the Impala INT96 timestamp type. That
happened because we (Cloudera) didn't discuss how to properly store
timestamps with the upstream community. The implementers needed a way to
write the type and know it was the timestamp, and using INT96 for that
purpose seemed like a good idea at the time, I guess.
Spark 1.4.x (recently released) is using INT96 for timestamps as well.
