The bug
There are bright areas underwater, as if caused by sea pickles or ruins, but it's a cold ocean and there's no light source whatsoever. Similarly there seem to be dark spots.
How to reproduce
Create a world with seed 77 (this probably doesn't matter, but there's an ocean here), and move outside the spawn area.

Confirmed as a bug in 19w14b. When the blocks are updated sufficiently, the light level drops back down.
it shouldn't be sea pickles, because they don't spawn in cold ocean, but i have a similar experience with breaking blocks.
I discovered the glitch goes away when you go to Optimize World and check Clear Cache Data before running the optimize. This might help debugging
I have also seen this. I believe it is due to Diorite having a light level that is fairly high.
