Jacques Nadeau commented on ARROW-413:
--------------------------------------

We found it useful in java land as many of the prebuilt libraries use this 
construct. It makes doing date math much less work. Example: 
org.joda.time.LocalDate and the joda-derived JDK8+ java.time.LocalDate

> DATE type is not specified clearly
