Overview
The DateTime AttributeDefinition converts one or more input values into a Java Instant (an unambiguous timestamp based on the Unix epoch) . The resulting attribute's values are of type DateTimeAttributeValue. This definition type can convert string values that are either numeric, or that match a supplied DateTimeFormatter formatting string. Numeric values may be processed in seconds or in milliseconds since the Unix epoch. It is allowed to mix numeric and formatted string inputs.
Errors in converting data may be fatal or ignored.
