Review comment:
       The `FormatEvaluatorBenchmark` is interesting, but additional dependencies need to be added to `NOTICE` files.  Although it is a useful point of reference, it would simplify the PR to remove these dependencies and the associated benchmark.  Perhaps providing the benchmark as link in the PR description or associated Jira issue would be a better way to go.

Review comment:
       NiFi has users across the world, so hard-coding formatting to particular localities should be avoided.

Review comment:
       The use of `ZoneOffset.UTC` effectively changes the value of `simpleDateFormatResult`, so recommend avoiding format conversion when perform assert checks to ensure that the test is comparing expected return values.

Review comment:
       When comparing expected output, it is best to use a specific `ZoneId` as the test results could be different at build time depending on the timezone of the system running the build.

Review comment:
       Using `ZoneId.systemDefault()` can introduce unexpected behavior at runtime depending on the system configuration.  Recommend introducing unit tests to evaluate the behavior on different time zones.

Review comment:
       Converting the result using `ZoneId.systemDefault()` can result in different behavior based on the running system configuration, is this the best approach?  At minimum it is worth documenting the behavior.  Given that `SimpleDateFormat` returns a `Date` object that depends on the system time zone internally, this approach might make sense, but it is worth testing and documenting.
