-------------------------
Summary: TimestampConverter / Allow to specify a time zone when
converting unix epoch to string
Key: KAFKA-9781
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-9781
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Wish
Components: KafkaConnect
Reporter: Al
TimestampConverter can convert a unix epoch value (long; number of milliseconds
since Jan 01 1970 00:00 GMT) to string. However, when doing such conversion,
the string result depends on the time zone used.
TimestampConverter uses UTC (i.e. GMT) for the conversion and does not allow to
change it. But I would need this in order to get the date/time representation
in my local time zone.
So I propose to introduce another config parameter (optional) for
"target.type=string": *timeZone* (use java name for that). If no time zone is
specified, UTC should be used.
