> Currently TIMESTAMP_INSTANT is defined as a non-primitive type. While TIMESTAMP is a primitive type.

> TIMESTAMP_INSTANT("timestamp with local time zone", false);
> Category(String name, boolean isPrimitive) {
>   this.name = name;

> This can cause problems in code that branches based on type.getCategory().isPrimitive()
