---------------------------------------
Summary: TimeRange constructors should set allTime when appropriate
Key: HBASE-14985
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-14985
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 0.98.16.1, 1.1.2
Reporter: Geoffrey Jacoby
Assignee: Geoffrey Jacoby
Priority: Minor
The default TimeRange constructor creates a range from 0 to Long.MAX_VALUE and
sets an allTime flag to true. This flag allows some performance optimizations
when comparing or using TimeRanges.
This flag is not set, however, if you call "new TimeRange(0L)" or "new
TimeRange(0L, Long.MAX_VALUE)", even though both of these create a logically
equivalent TimeRange to "new TimeRange()". Since TimeRanges are immutable and
detecting this condition is trivial, we should set the flag automatically in
the explicit constructors when appropriate.
