Description

1. Created hdfs_path entity by POSTing the following definition to /api/atlas/v2/entity

{
   "referredEntities":{  },
   "entity":{
      "typeName":"hdfs_path",
      "attributes":{
         "qualifiedName":"dir2",
         "path":"/user2/dir2",
         "name":"dir2",
         "createTime":1502087347000
      },
      "guid":"-1",
      "status":"ACTIVE",
      "createdBy":"admin",
      "updatedBy":"admin",
      "createTime":1502365775921,
      "updateTime":1502365834237,
      "version":0
   }
}

Atlas' hdfs model has createTime and modifiedTime attributes of type date.
In the definition above , createTime is specified while POSTing whereas modifiedTime is not specified.
After POSTing the definition , UI shows "Thu Jan 01 1970 05:30:00 GMT+0530 (IST)" for modifiedTime. When trying to edit the modifiedTime via UI , it shows "Invalid Date". All the entries in the date picker are "NaN". Whereas ,createTime is editable.
Attached the screenshot.

GET entity definition of the POSTed hdfs_path entity :

{
referredEntities: { },

typeName: "hdfs_path",
