stack commented on HBASE-8462: ------------------------------ +1 again for 0.95 and trunk. (Pity the cheeks couldn't all go into a shared method like the setTimestamp) > 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, 0.96.0 > > Attachments: hbase-8462_v1.patch, hbase-8462_v2.patch, > hbase-8462_v3.patch > > > 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
