   I think we should support 2 separate data types for intervals as it is 
defined by SQL standard. I opened 2 JIRA tickets for that: 
[SPARK-27790](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-27790) 
([SPARK-27791](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-27791) & 
[SPARK-27793](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-27793)) but both 
types must have the same keyword for literals - `interval`. I would keep 
existing type `CalendarInterval` as is. I don't see any reasons to assign more 
generic name to it because it is just mix of 2 types with not very well defined 
semantics.
