Daniel Kuppitz commented on CASSANDRA-12360:
--------------------------------------------
The date itself would be sufficient in my particular use-case. But the problem
is, that we can use arbitrary timestamps and the time could be relevant - the
Java driver* has to assume that the time is relevant and thus it has to treat
all timestamps the same.
*the Java driver or whatever component converts my instances of
{{java.time.Instant}} to Strings
The best solution would of course be to convert {{Instant}} to {{Long}}, not to
{{String}}. However, as a cqlsh user you'll be more than happy if you don't
have to deal with unreadable {{Long}} values.
