    true if the given character is a valid whitespace character, false otherwise.
  - isLongLiteral
```
public static boolean isLongLiteral(String str)
```
    Check whether the given string corresponds to a valid CQL long literal. Long literals are composed solely by digits, but can have an optional leading minus sign.

```
    Parse the given string as a date, using the supplied date pattern.
    This method is adapted from Apache Commons DateUtils.parseStrictly() method (that is used Cassandra side to parse date strings)..

    Parameters:
    
    str - The string to parse.
    
    Returns:

    Throws:
    
    ParseException - if the string cannot be parsed.

    'Working with time' section of CQL specification
  - formatTime
```
public static String formatTime(long value)
```
    Format the given long value as a CQL time literal, using the following time pattern: hh:mm:ss[.fffffffff].
