Joshua McKenzie commented on CASSANDRA-12360:
---------------------------------------------
I'm pretty sure that's a formatting issue due to limitations in the range of
datetime.date in python which is limited to years 1-9999
([reference|https://docs.python.org/2/library/datetime.html]).
In the python driver since we use that for formatting, we resort to printing
raw days since epoch if it's outside the range of a datetime.date
([reference|https://github.com/datastax/python-driver/blob/3.6.0/cassandra/util.py#L992-L994]).
