Mark Payne commented on NIFI-1958:
----------------------------------
[~alopresto] I can understand adding the "week" time duration, but I don't
think month and year really are good candidates, as you can't really convert a
month into a smaller unit like seconds because the month may have 28, 29, 30,
or 31 days in it. And because of leap years you can't really convert years into
seconds, etc. either. Is there a particular use case where you see a need for
months or years?
> FormatUtils does not handle time units larger than "day"
