    I'd like to merge this in as is (barring any feedback) and add the timezone support later. 
    
    I created this JIRA for the timezone support: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-4732

> We should support some date related functions in record path. At a minimum I think having a format function like:
> {code}
> format( /someField, 'yyyy-MM-dd', defaultValue)
> {code}
> The main use case for this is using PartitionRecord to partition by month, day, or hour on a date field. 
> Currently you have treat the date as a string and use a sub-string operation to get the part you are interested in, which also assumes the date is in a string form in the first place.
