> f I don't put the optional "timestamp" attribute in a Cell when I'm inserting data, the timestamp ends up as zero, which caused much confusion because it pre-dates the value I thought I was replacing.  I assumed that not specifying this attribute would cause the timestamp to default to the current HBase server time.  Instead I found I had to specify the timestamp as "-1" to get this behaviour.  Is this a bug or an intentional semantic?
