The existing approach used date formatters when a format based string
like
date_time||epoch_millis
was used, instead of the custom code.In order to properly solve this, a new interface called
DateFormatter
has been added, which now can be implemented for customformatters. Currently there are two implementations, one using java time
and one doing the epoch_millis formatter, which simply parses a number
and then converts it to a date in UTC timezone.
The DateFormatter interface now also has a method to retrieve the name
of the formatter pattern, which is needed for mapping changes anyway.
The existing
CompoundDateTimeFormatter
class has been removed, thename was not really nice anyway.
One more minor change is the fact, that the new java time using
FormatDateFormatter does not try to parse the date with its printer
implementation first (which might be a strict one and fail), but a
printer can now be specified in addition. This saves one potential
failure/exception when parsing less strict dates.
If only a printer is specified, the printer will also be used as a
parser.
