number of time periods from the java epoch
precise offset into the specific time period
Represents a time by an offset into a binned bucket. The bin represents days, weeks, months or years since the java epoch. The offset represents milliseconds, seconds, or hours into that bin.
Times can be partitioned based on four periods:
TimePeriod.Day bin => day offset => milliseconds max date => 2059/09/18
TimePeriod.Week bin => week offset => seconds max date => 2598/01/04
TimePeriod.Month bin => month offset => seconds max date => 4700/08/31
TimePeriod.Year bin => year offset => minutes max date => 34737/12/31
