What does the Locale has to do how strings are encoded? The code changes
nothing it was fine before and after.
The problem is that your calendar is wrong. The above locales simply don't use
gregorian calendars.
My suggestion: Use SimpleDateFormat and pass Locale = Locale.ENGLISH, also use
a GregorianCalendar.
In addition, when parsing date times in this format, you also have to give the
correct Locale. E.g., Thai locales don#T use ASCII digits, so a date with ASCII
digits cannot be parsed by those calendars.
I would also suggest to use the forbidden-apis Maven/Ant module that checks for
all signatures in the JDK that rely on some external (unwanted) defaults like
charsets, locales or timezones:
https://github.com/policeman-tools/forbidden-apis
Lucene/Solr/Elasticsearch/Tika use that module. See also the blog post about it
why you should use it.

> The locales that have a problem for me are:
> th_TH_TH_#u-nu-thai
> ja_JP_JP_#u-ca-japanese
> hi_IN
> I've tracked these problems to DateUtils.toGeneralizedTime(), which is
> returning the following to me for these 3 locales, respectively:
