Review Comment:
   > Why are we setting defaults?
   
   In the new commit, this is reverted. 
   
   
   The original reason for this was  according to [java 
docs](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/time/format/DateTimeFormatter.html),
 the symbols: 
   -   ` u`   is    `year  `
   -    `y `   is    `year-of-era ` 
   
   So, when resolver style is set to Strict the patten `yyyy`  is evaluated as 
year-of-era and would return null unless the era was specified. Hence 
ChronoField.ERA was set to "AD".    Without this we would be limited to using 
the 'uuuu' pattern to represent year .
