Remarks

Framework-level interface defining an amount of time, such as "6 hours", "8 days" or "2 years and 3 months".

This is the base interface type for amounts of time. An amount is distinct from a date or time-of-day in that it is not tied to any specific point on the time-line.

The amount can be thought of as a Map of TemporalUnit to long, exposed via #getUnits() and #get(TemporalUnit). A simple case might have a single unit-value pair, such as "6 hours". A more complex case may have multiple unit-value pairs, such as "7 years, 3 months and 5 days".

There are two common implementations. Period is a date-based implementation, storing years, months and days. Duration is a time-based implementation, storing seconds and nanoseconds, but providing some access using other duration based units such as minutes, hours and fixed 24-hour days.

This interface is a framework-level interface that should not be widely used in application code. Instead, applications should create and pass around instances of concrete types, such as Period and Duration.
