------------------------------------
Summary: 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
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.
