Wes McKinney commented on ARROW-835:
------------------------------------
Kicking this can a bit as not urgent for 0.6.0. We need to articulate what the
{{Interval}} type at
https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/format/Schema.fbs#L177 is and how
it is different from a {{Timedelta}} with unit. There is good precedent for
supporting 64-bit timedelta from other projects
> [Format] Add Timedelta type to describe time intervals

> this will allow round-tripping of pandas ``Timedelta`` and numpy
> ``timedelt64[ns]`` types. The will have a similar TimeUnit to TimestampType
> (s, us, ms, ns). Possible impl include making this pure 64-bit.
