> The {{TimeVector}} class, which holds Time data, should hold a simple local time with no associated date or time zone. (A local time cannot be converted to UTC without a date since the conversion depends on when daylight savings is in effect.)
> But, the implementation of {{TimeVector}} uses the following very questionable code:
> {code}
>     @Override
>     public DateTime getObject(int index) {
>         org.joda.time.DateTime time = new org.joda.time.DateTime(get(index), org.joda.time.DateTimeZone.UTC);
>         time = time.withZoneRetainFields(org.joda.time.DateTimeZone.getDefault());
>         return time;
>     }
> {code}
> That is, we convert a date-less, local time into a Joda UTC DateTime object, then reset the time zone to local time. This is abusing the Joda library and is the very kind of fun & games that Joda was designed to prevent.
> The conversion of a time into Joda should use the {{LocalTime}} class.
> In fact, according to [Oracle|http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/java/jf14-date-time-2125367.html], the following is the mapping from ANSI SQL date/time types to Java 8 (and thus Joda) classes:
> ||ANSI SQL||Java SE 8
> |DATE|LocalDate
> |TIME|LocalTime
> |TIMESTAMP|LocalDateTime
> |TIME WITH TIMEZONE|OffsetTime
> |TIMESTAMP WITH TIMEZONE|OffsetDateTime
