Cassandra - dates before 1970

Question

Is there a way to support dates older than 1970 in Cassandra while supporting dates operations on them? I can only see timestamps. If we need older dates should I simulate my ow

This issue seems to be ok with Cassandra 2.0.9:

CREATE TABLE table1 (id int, col1 int, ts timestamp, PRIMARY KEY (id, ts));  
INSERT INTO table1 (id, col1, ts) values (1, 10, '2000-02-03');  
INSERT INTO table1 (id, col1, ts) values (1, 20, '1960-02-03');  
INSERT INTO table1 (id, col1, ts) values (1, 30, '1890-02-03'); 

SELECT col1 FROM table1 WHERE id = 1 and ts >= '1900-01-01 00:00:00+0000' limit 10;  

Output:

 col1
------
   20
   10

Problems in earlier versions might be related to CASSANDRA-6395 (fixed in 2.0.4), or JAVA-264 (that was later reverted).
