> Currently, for the date/time related logical types, we are generating Joda date/time objects. Since we've moved to Java-8 (AVRO-2043) it seems logical to also provide the possibility to generate {{java.time.*}} date/time objects instead of the Joda time variants.
> I propose to make this is a switch in {{SpecificCompiler.java}} which will default to Joda (I think), but can be set to generate the Java 8 versions.
> (I'm currently trying to run through the code to see if I can make it work.)
