Description

The ExtractionDateUtil class in the extraction contrib uses SimpleDateFormatter.  The Java 8 java.time API is superior; you can find articles out there why.  One thing that comes to mind is less timezone bugginess – SOLR-10243.  Although the API may be a bit baroque IMO (over-engineered).  Here I'd like to switch over the API and furthermore have the patterns be pre-parsed so that at runtime we don't need to re-parse the patterns.
