+This example will work with the sandbox configuration described in the preface. That is, there is a space[0] with a numeric primary key.
+The example function will: (1) select the tuple whose key value is 1000;
+(2) return an error if the tuple already exists and already has 3 fields;
+(3) Insert or replace the tuple with: field[0] = 1000, field[1] = a uuid, field[2] = number of seconds since 1970-01-01;
+(4) Get field[2] from what was replaced;
+(5) Format the value from field[2] as yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.ffff;
+(6) Return the formatted value.
+The function uses Tarantool box functions box.replace(), box.time(), box.select_limit(), box_uuid_hex().
+The function uses Lua functions
+<link xlink:href="http://www.lua.org/pil/22.1.html">os.date()</link>
