Bug/Feature Request Description

In [1]: import featuretools as ft                                                                                                                             

In [2]: es = ft.demo.load_mock_customer(return_entityset=True)

Currently, for integration tests, we try to "recreate/reupdate" the same "ds" or "test_ingestion" dataset in BigQuery. This can cause issues though if e.g. the test runner isn't an admin privilege because in particular updating the timestamp of the table requires admin privileges.

Problem
Since Java 8 was introduced there is no need to use Joda as it has been replaced the native Date-Time API.

Solution
Ideally greping and replacing the text should work (mostly)

Additional context
Need to check if de/serializing will still work.

Details in discussion mljar/mljar-supervised#421

There are both BaseSampler and SamplerBase classes. This issue tracks determining the difference between the two and if we can combine / use just one base class.
