[geomesa-users] Which(Date or Long) type to use for storing timestamp va

[Suresh Prajapati <sureshpraja1234@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Everyone,

I am using geomesa for indexing over acccumulo storage. I have an attribute which stores timestamp values. I am confused between which TYPE and INDEX to use for storing timestamp attribute values depending upon performance.

There are two cases

 1. Using `Long` as timestamp type and create attribute index.

 2. Using `Date` type and use default date index.

I want to know which technique is better out of this two in terms of searching and sorting in millions of records. What is best practice to follow? 

Thank You
