Wes McKinney updated ARROW-8619:
--------------------------------
Description:
This is a breaking API change, but {{MonthIntervalType}} and
{{DayTimeIntervalType}} are different data types (and have different value
sizes, which is not true of timestamps) and thus should be distinguished in the
same way that DATE32 / DATE64 are distinguished, or TIME32 / TIME64 are
distinguished
This may nominally simplify function / kernel dispatch
