Keith Turner commented on ACCUMULO-776:
---------------------------------------
bq. Well, regardless of version you need backwards compatibility. We don't want
things from suddenly break for users because they upgraded and were using a
TimestampFilter as a configured iterator.
Oh right, I totally spaced on that. I was only thinking of using it as scan
time iterator, because that the only way I have used it.
> TimestampFilter should serialize start and end as longs in the IteratorSetting

> Although the TimestampFilter supports using longs to set the start or end
> timestamp, it formats them as strings using SimpleDateFormat when storing or
> retrieving them in the IteratorSetting.
> This results in exceptions when the timestamps being used aren't able to be
> formatted as _yyyyMMddHHmmssz_. For example, try
> {{setEnd(253402300800001,true)}}
> Instead, {{setStart()}} and {{setEnd()}} could just as easily use
> {{String.valueOf(long i)}} to store the values, and {{init()}} could retrieve
> them using {{Long.valueOf(String s)}}.
