Last indexed date for processed PST files

Hello Everyone

This is for Clearwell 8.3 CHF2 and I have a few questions regarding "last indexed" date for processed PST files. Is there a reason behind the 12/31/30826 16:00:00 time stamp? Could this be due to PST type, size or corruption? Has anyone seen this on their Clearwell appliances?

Thank you

    The "last indexed date" column doesn't reflect the last time that an indexing job was run.  Rather, it's the last indexed date in the source file or folder.

    Certain document types (for example, recurring calendar entries created in Lotus Notes) can have "future" dates, therefore rather than skipping these items, Clearwell indexes, assuming no date restrictions have been applied to a source until 12/31/30826 (the largest date to which eDiscovery can index). Documents that have dates in the future will be indexed completely. The year 30826 is the maximum year per the current set of programming APIs.

    The reason the date is such a high number is that date ranges must have fixed beginnings and end dates, and this Date/Time stamp provides a firm end date.
