The unsigned date specifically says, "The purpose of this type is to map to
existing HBase data that was serialized using this HBase utility method."
When you stored these values, did you use that method? According to the
docs, "If that is not the case, use the regular signed type instead."

I'm not an expert on those data types, but I hope that helps.
