> Java's Date class is horribly broken and should not be used. Unfortunately, we used it to return the results of the min/max for ColumnStatistics. That leads to lots of problems.
> To fix this, we'll create new API methods that return it both as day of epoch and LocalDate. Both of them work much better.
