---------------------------------------
Summary: TimestampType doesn't support pre-epoch long
Key: CASSANDRA-6212
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6212
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Core
Reporter: Simon Hopkin
org.apache.cassandra.db.marshal.TimestampType contains a regular expression
that checks to see if the String argument contains a number. If so it parses
it as a long timestamp. However pre-epoch timestamps are negative and the code
doesn't account for this so it tries to parse it as a formatted Date. A tweak
to the regular expression in TimestampType.dateStringToTimestamp() would solve
this issue.
I can get around this issue by using formatted data types but fixing this would
mean I could go back to using timestamps.
Currently I get the following exception message:
unable to coerce '-86400000' to a formatted date (long)
