---------------------------------------
Sounds good. Check out HBASE-6592 ?
> Formatter to convert from epoch time to human readable date format.

> Key: HBASE-26121
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-26121
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: shell
> Reporter: Rushabh Shah
> Priority: Major
>
> In shell, we have custom formatter to convert from bytes to Long/Int for
> long/int data type values.
> Many times we store the epoch timestamp (event creation, updation time) as
> long in our table columns. Even after converting this column to Long, the
> date is not in a human readable format. We still have to convert this long
> into date using some bash shell tricks and it is not convenient to do for
> many columns. We can introduce a new format method called +toLongDate+ which
> signifies that we want to convert the bytes to long first and then to date.
> Please let me know if any such functionality already exists and I am not
> aware of.
