起因
支付系统通知账务还款结果时，对请求时间使用“YYYYMMddHHmmss”格式化，20171231变为了20181231致使数据不匹配。
我们大多都知道mm与MM的区别，因为分和月会同时出现，但很少会关注其它的pattern大小写有无区分。
重现demo如下
Date date = new Date(2017 - 1900, 11, 31);
DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
System.out.println(dateFormat.format(date));
dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("YYYY-MM-dd");
System.out.println(dateFormat.format(date));
输出结果：
2017-12-31
2018-12-31

以上y为正常理解中的year，Y为week year，当天所在的周所属年份，一周从周日开始，周六结束。只要本周跨年，那么这周即算入下一年，2017-12-31为周日，刚好是2017最后一周并跨年。用YYYY获取自然得出2018，造成了这个错误。
