------------------------------------
Summary: Custom timestamps should not be allowed to be negative
Key: HBASE-8462
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-8462
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Client
Reporter: Enis Soztutar
Assignee: Enis Soztutar
Fix For: 0.98.0, 0.94.8, 0.95.1
Client supplied timestamps should not be allowed to be negative, otherwise
unpredictable results will follow. Especially, since we are encoding the ts
using Bytes.Bytes(long), negative timestamps are sorted after positive ones.
Plus, the new PB messages define ts' as uint64.
Credit goes to Huned Lokhandwala for reporting this.
