PutKudu Incorrect Date Conversion from String

The PutKudu processor uses NiFi DataTypeUtils.toDate() when converting from a NiFi Record to a Kudu PartialRow for date fields. This works as expected when the Record field value is a java.sql.Date, but can result in subtracting one day from the original value when the Record field value is a String. The problem occurs as a result of DataTypeUtils.getDateFormat() using a default Time Zone of GMT. As a result of using SimpleDateFormat.parse(), an input string of 2000-01-01 results in a java.sql.Date of 1999-12-31.
