> The {{org.apache.hadoop.hbase.io.TimeRange}} is used in functions like {{org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.Table.CheckAndMutateBuilder#timeRange}}.
> The current ways to create a {{TimeRange}} are:
> - factory functions: {{at}} (a single instant), {{allTime}} (all valid timestamps)
> - deprecated and {{@InterfaceAudience.Private}} constructors, which support more ranges, like {{[minStamp, maxStamp)}}, and {{[minStamp, MAX)}}
> This is insufficient for all but the simplest use of the {{CheckAndMutateBuilder#timeRange}} function.
> On user@hbase.apache.org, it was suggested that more factory functions could be added: https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/0ffc5e57c396873d56e49d7b02e823432b053fb98037ee6778d7c2ce@%3Cuser.hbase.apache.org%3E
> However, {{TimeRange}}'s documentation currently says:
> {code:java}
>  * Can be returned and read by clients.  Should not be directly created by clients.
>  * Thus, all constructors are purposely @InterfaceAudience.Private.
> {code}
> so another approach to making {{CheckAndMutateBuilder#timeRange}} useful may be required.
