Then, It looks okay to me as describing the current state and I just
checked it after building the doc with this, and also
we can already use it as below:
```scala
scala> sql("SELECT interval 1 second").schema(0).dataType.getClass
res0: Class[_ <: org.apache.spark.sql.types.DataType] = class
org.apache.spark.sql.types.CalendarIntervalType$
scala> sql("SELECT interval 1 second").collect()(0).get(0).getClass
res1: Class[_] = class org.apache.spark.unsafe.types.CalendarInterval
```
```scala
scala> val rdd = spark.sparkContext.parallelize(Seq(Row(new
CalendarInterval(0, 0))))
rdd: org.apache.spark.rdd.RDD[org.apache.spark.sql.Row] =
ParallelCollectionRDD[0] at parallelize at <console>:32
scala> spark.createDataFrame(rdd, StructType(StructField("a",
CalendarIntervalType) :: Nil))
res1: org.apache.spark.sql.DataFrame = [a: calendarinterval]
```
Another meta concern is, `org.apache.spark.unsafe.types.CalendarInterval`
seems undocumented in both scaladoc/javadoc (entire `unsafe` module). Once we
document this as a weak promise for this API, then we might have to keep this
for backward compatibility.
Maybe just describe it as SQL dedicated type or not supported for now with
some `Note:` rather than describing it?
