Partial is an immutable partial datetime supporting any set of datetime fields.
A Partial instance can be used to hold any combination of fields. The instance does not contain a time zone, so any datetime is local.
A Partial can be matched against an instant using isMatch(ReadableInstant). This method compares each field on this partial with those of the instant and determines if the partial matches the instant. Given this definition, an empty Partial instance represents any datetime and always matches.
Calculations on Partial are performed using a Chronology. This chronology is set to be in the UTC time zone for all calculations.
Each individual field can be queried in two ways:
- get(DateTimeFieldType.monthOfYear())
- property(DateTimeFieldType.monthOfYear()).get()
The second technique also provides access to other useful methods on the field:
- numeric value - monthOfYear().get()
- text value - monthOfYear().getAsText()
- short text value - monthOfYear().getAsShortText()
- maximum/minimum values - monthOfYear().getMaximumValue()
- add/subtract - monthOfYear().addToCopy()
- set - monthOfYear().setCopy()
Partial is thread-safe and immutable, provided that the Chronology is as well. All standard Chronology classes supplied are thread-safe and immutable.

- Constructor Detail
  - Partial
```
public Partial()
```
    Constructs a Partial with no fields or values, which can be considered to represent any date.
    This is most useful when constructing partials, for example:
```
 Partial p = new Partial()
     .with(DateTimeFieldType.dayOfWeek(), 5)
     .with(DateTimeFieldType.hourOfDay(), 12)
     .with(DateTimeFieldType.minuteOfHour(), 20);
 
```
    Note that, although this is a clean way to write code, it is fairly inefficient internally.
    The constructor uses the default ISO chronology.

  - withChronologyRetainFields
```
public Partial withChronologyRetainFields(Chronology newChronology)
```
    Creates a new Partial instance with the specified chronology. This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.
    This method retains the values of the fields, thus the result will typically refer to a different instant.
    The time zone of the specified chronology is ignored, as Partial operates without a time zone.
    
    Parameters:
    newChronology - the new chronology, null means ISO
    
    Returns:
    a copy of this datetime with a different chronology
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if the values are invalid for the new chronology
  - with
```
public Partial with(DateTimeFieldType fieldType,
           int value)
```
    Gets a copy of this date with the specified field set to a new value.
    If this partial did not previously support the field, the new one will. Contrast this behaviour with withField(DateTimeFieldType, int).
    For example, if the field type is dayOfMonth then the day would be changed/added in the returned instance.
    
    Parameters:
    fieldType - the field type to set, not null
    value - the value to set
    
    Returns:
    a copy of this instance with the field set
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if the value is null or invalid
  - without
```
public Partial without(DateTimeFieldType fieldType)
```
    Gets a copy of this date with the specified field removed.
    If this partial did not previously support the field, no error occurs.
    
    Parameters:
    fieldType - the field type to remove, may be null
    
    Returns:
    a copy of this instance with the field removed
  - withField
```
public Partial withField(DateTimeFieldType fieldType,
                int value)
```
    Gets a copy of this Partial with the specified field set to a new value.
    If this partial does not support the field, an exception is thrown. Contrast this behaviour with with(DateTimeFieldType, int).
    For example, if the field type is dayOfMonth then the day would be changed in the returned instance if supported.
    
    Parameters:
    fieldType - the field type to set, not null
    value - the value to set
    
    Returns:
    a copy of this instance with the field set
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if the value is null or invalid
  - withFieldAdded
```
public Partial withFieldAdded(DurationFieldType fieldType,
                     int amount)
```
    Gets a copy of this Partial with the value of the specified field increased. If this partial does not support the field, an exception is thrown.
    If the addition is zero, then this is returned. The addition will overflow into larger fields (eg. minute to hour). However, it will not wrap around if the top maximum is reached.
    
    Parameters:
    fieldType - the field type to add to, not null
    amount - the amount to add
    
    Returns:
    a copy of this instance with the field updated
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if the value is null or invalid
    
    ArithmeticException - if the new datetime exceeds the capacity
  - withFieldAddWrapped
```
public Partial withFieldAddWrapped(DurationFieldType fieldType,
                          int amount)
```
    Gets a copy of this Partial with the value of the specified field increased. If this partial does not support the field, an exception is thrown.
    If the addition is zero, then this is returned. The addition will overflow into larger fields (eg. minute to hour). If the maximum is reached, the addition will wra.
    
    Parameters:
    fieldType - the field type to add to, not null
    amount - the amount to add
    
    Returns:
    a copy of this instance with the field updated
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if the value is null or invalid
    
    ArithmeticException - if the new datetime exceeds the capacity
  - withPeriodAdded
```
public Partial withPeriodAdded(ReadablePeriod period,
                      int scalar)
```
    Gets a copy of this Partial with the specified period added.
    If the addition is zero, then this is returned. Fields in the period that aren't present in the partial are ignored.
    This method is typically used to add multiple copies of complex period instances. Adding one field is best achieved using the method withFieldAdded(DurationFieldType, int).
    
    Parameters:
    period - the period to add to this one, null means zero
    scalar - the amount of times to add, such as -1 to subtract once
    
    Returns:
    a copy of this instance with the period added
    
    Throws:
    
    ArithmeticException - if the new datetime exceeds the capacity
  - plus
```
public Partial plus(ReadablePeriod period)
```
    Gets a copy of this instance with the specified period added.
    If the amount is zero or null, then this is returned.
    
    Parameters:
    period - the duration to add to this one, null means zero
    
    Returns:
    a copy of this instance with the period added
    
    Throws:
    
    ArithmeticException - if the new datetime exceeds the capacity of a long
  - minus
```
public Partial minus(ReadablePeriod period)
```
    Gets a copy of this instance with the specified period take away.
    If the amount is zero or null, then this is returned.
    
    Parameters:
    period - the period to reduce this instant by
    
    Returns:
    a copy of this instance with the period taken away
    
    Throws:
    
    ArithmeticException - if the new datetime exceeds the capacity of a long
  - property

    type - the field type to get the property for, not null
    
    Returns:
    the property object
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if the field is null or unsupported
  - isMatch
```
public boolean isMatch(ReadableInstant instant)
```
    Does this partial match the specified instant.
    A match occurs when all the fields of this partial are the same as the corresponding fields on the specified instant.
    
    Parameters:
    instant - an instant to check against, null means now in default zone
    
    Returns:
    true if this partial matches the specified instant
  - isMatch
```
public boolean isMatch(ReadablePartial partial)
```
    Does this partial match the specified partial.
    A match occurs when all the fields of this partial are the same as the corresponding fields on the specified partial.
    
    Parameters:
    partial - a partial to check against, must not be null
    
    Returns:
    true if this partial matches the specified partial
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if the partial is null

    1.5
  - getFormatter
```
public DateTimeFormatter getFormatter()
```
    Gets a formatter suitable for the fields in this partial.
    If there is no appropriate ISO format, null is returned. This method may return a formatter that does not display all the fields of the partial. This might occur when you have overlapping fields, such as dayOfWeek and dayOfMonth.
    
    Returns:
    a formatter suitable for the fields in this partial, null if none is suitable
  - toString
```
public String toString()
```
    Output the date in an appropriate ISO8601 format.

    If there is no appropriate ISO format a dump of the fields is output via toStringList().
    
    Specified by:
    
    toString in interface ReadablePartial
    
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class Object
    
    Returns:
    ISO8601 formatted string
  - toStringList
```
public String toStringList()
```
    Gets a string version of the partial that lists all the fields.
    This method exists to provide a better debugging toString than the standard toString. This method lists all the fields and their values in a style similar to the collections framework.
    
    Returns:
    a toString format that lists all the fields
  - toString
```
public String toString(String pattern)
```
    Output the date using the specified format pattern. Unsupported fields will appear as special unicode characters.
    
    Parameters:
    pattern - the pattern specification, null means use toString
    See Also:
    org.joda.time.format.DateTimeFormat
  - toString
```
public String toString(String pattern,
              Locale locale)
```
    Output the date using the specified format pattern. Unsupported fields will appear as special unicode characters.
    
    Parameters:
    pattern - the pattern specification, null means use toString
    locale - Locale to use, null means default
