Hi,
         
        I am using a mid-June version of GeoMesa. 
          Perhaps this issue has been fixed since mid-June, but if it
          hasn’t been I thought I should report it.
         
        I have noticed that GeoMesa seems to
          inconsistently handle the temporal portion of a filter.  In
          particular, I notice that sometimes the temporal portion of a
          filter seems to be inclusive and sometimes it seems to be
          exclusive.  
         
        When I perform a query, the temporal
          component seems to be inclusive, but when I try to remove
          features, the temporal component seems to be exclusive.
         
        For example, when I use the following
          filter (filter result reported by ECQL.toCQL(filter)) for
          querying, data with the geomesa_time attribute set to
          2014-01-01T05:20:00+00:00 is returned; however, when I use the
          same filter to try to remove features, data with the
          geomesa_time attribute set to 2014-01-01T05:20:00+00:00 is not
          removed.
            ((geomesa_time BEFORE
          2014-02-05T05:30:00+00:00 AND geomesa_time AFTER
          2014-01-01T05:20:00+00:00) AND BBOX(geomesa_geometry,
          -100.008,39.969,-99.999,39.978))
         
        I would prefer that each temporal bound be
          inclusive (as I find it to be when querying), but most
          importantly I would like the behavior to be consistent.  I
          should note, that I also want the behavior to work
          consistently for modifying features.
         
        My query code is analogous to the
          following:
            FeatureSource<SimpleFeatureType,
          SimpleFeature> featureSource =
          dataStore.getFeatureSource(featureName);
            FeatureCollection<SimpleFeatureType,
          SimpleFeature> featureCollection =
          featureSource.getFeatures(new Query(featureName, filter,
          properties));
         
        My removing of features code is analogous
          to the following:
            featureStore.removeFeatures(filter);
         
         
        Please let me know if I can be of any
          further help with troubleshooting. 
          
         
        Thanks,
         
        Beau
