This ticket adds support for date and time (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7523).
Added the deprecation proposal. Also rebased the branch to a single commit (on top of current 2.2 branch).
+1 for getTimestamp() method + deprecate getDate() method
I would still be in favor of the second part of your proposal:

Updated the PR + squashed to one commit
Updated the PR to use getDateWithoutTime - it's an expressive name. And we have no breaking change - I like that
