Sorry for not responding sooner.

What you could try is to generate integers but convert them in {{SchemaStatement.bindRow}} as it is the place where the data will be fed into the java driver. In the constructor you can have access to the {{ColumnDefinitions.Definition}} and from there to the {{DataType}}.
If the DataType is the one for {{SimpleDate}} you can convert your data before feeding it to the driver. 

Do not forget to check that everything works also fine with thrift.

> Currently you can't define a data model with decimal types and use Cassandra stress with it.  Also, I imagine that holds true with other newer data types such as the new date and time types.  Besides that, now that data models are including user defined types, we should allow users to create those structures with stress as well.  Perhaps we could split out the UDTs into a different ticket if it holds the other types up.
