TimeUtil can not convert "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ" to Long in Scala.

When I try to do this:

println(TimeUtil.fromInfluxDBTimeFormat("2016-10-31T16:52:20Z") == 1477932740000L)

I got exception:

@ddpaimon please take a look into my comment and why you should avoid using TimeUtil.fromInfluxDBTimeFormat.

To fix your issue, pass a TimeUnit parameter when querying InfluxDB and use your own date formatter. If this works for you, please close this ticket.
