Description

We should make sure users who may have used the buggy DateLexicoder are informed of a method which they can use to correct their data or to continue using the old behavior.

To read data with the old, broken behavior (if needed):

Lexicoder lex = new ULongLexicoder();
for (Entry<Key, Value> e : scanner) {
  Date d = new Date(lex.decode(TextUtil.getBytes(e.getKey().getRow())));
  // ...
}
