Benedict commented on CASSANDRA-7523:
-------------------------------------
To clarify, all we are doing is defining dates as an unsigned integer, with the
epoch being the _minimum_ representable date as opposed to the _middle_. This
means any language without unsigned integer support has to do some minor
fiddling, but this is not particularly obtuse for writing a network client, and
I wouldn't call it foisting internal treament of dates upon the drivers in any
unreasonable way.
