I happened to notice some bizarre timestamps coming out of the cassandra-cli. Example: [default@XXX] get CF[‘e2b753aa33b13e74e5e803d787b06000']; => (column=c35ef420-c37a-11e0-ac88-09b2f4397c6a, value=XXX, timestamp=2013042719) => (column=c3845ea0-c37a-11e0-8f6f-09b2f4397c6a, value=XXX, timestamp=2013287771) => (column=c3993840-c37a-11e0-a069-09b2f4397c6a, value=XXX timestamp=2013423245) => (column=c39a9040-c37a-11e0-8617-09b2f4397c6a, value=XXX, timestamp=2013431971) Returned 4 results.
I'm used to timestamps being micro from 1970, like this (same CF): [default@XXX] get CF[‘3a4599767e16e94465e8491139154871']; => (column=6c8e3160-4678-11e2-b69a-3534db9e8cfa, value=XXX, timestamp=1355549380581630) => (column=6c91f3a0-4678-11e2-bc00-3534db9e8cfa, value=XXX, timestamp=1355549380606285) => (column=6c980f00-4678-11e2-9963-3534db9e8cfa, value=XXX, timestamp=1355549380646378) => (column=6c994100-4678-11e2-955f-3534db9e8cfa, value=XXX, timestamp=1355549380654057) => (column=6c9e7950-4678-11e2-9189-3534db9e8cfa, value=XXX timestamp=1355549380688268) Returned 5 results. Was there a version of cassandra that wrote bad timestamps at the server level? I started around 0.8.4, and I'm running 1.1.2 right now. Could it have been a client with a bug? I've only been using phpcassa and the CLI to read/write data (no CQL). Is there another theory? I don't _think_ these odd timestamps will cause me problems. I just don't like unexpected results from my data stores... :-) will
