FilterTypeConverter

Type Parameters:

COLUMN_TYPE - the column type

FILTER_TYPE - the new type to be used during filter operations
```
public interface FilterTypeConverter<COLUMN_TYPE,FILTER_TYPE>
```
An interface that is meant to take the column type of of a DynamicTableColumn and convert it to the specified type. This class is meant to be used when the dynamic filtering mechanism is not correctly filtering a column, usually because the default filter for the column type does not match what the renderer is displaying in the table.
Columns create one of these classes to be returned from DynamicTableColumn#getFilterConverter().
