<![CDATA[Illegal instant due to time zone offset transition]]>Hey, hopefully this is a quick question. I'm trying to run a Data File CSV importer. I am importing data to a single point and it's all hourly data. When I tried to run the simple imported against my CSV I got this error

 org.joda.time.IllegalInstantException: Cannot parse "11-Mar-18 2": Illegal instant due to time zone offset transition (America/Toronto)

I've googled around and I'm not quite sure I understand what the error is. Is it because 2am does not exist on that day due to time change? Hmm. If that's the case can I just have this thing skip it somehow?

Thank you :)

I got around it by putting IllegalArgumentException since Instant extends it, but I will do it properly now

import org.joda.time.IllegalInstantException;

around the other import statements at the top of the class?

long time;
try {
  time = dtf.parseDateTime(row[0]).getMillis();
} catch(IllegalInstantException e) {
  return; //Don't let the exception escape
}

Is it because 2am does not exist on that day due to time change?

Correct. There is no 2am on the 11th. It jumps straight to 3am.

I dont think so. Can you delete it from the CSV?
