Description

CopyTable automatically assign an endTime if startTime is specified and endTime is not:

    if (startTime != 0) {
      scan.setTimeRange(startTime,
          endTime == 0 ? HConstants.LATEST_TIMESTAMP : endTime);
    }

However, we test if endTime is == 0 and exit before we get a chance to set the range:

      if (startTime > endTime) {
        printUsage("Invalid time range filter: starttime=" + startTime + " >  endtime=" + endTime);
        return false;
      }

So we need to check endTime only if it's != 0.
