Summary: Extending support for Microsecond Precision for Kafka
Connect
Key: KAFKA-19086
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-19086
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: connect
Reporter: Pritam Kumar
Fix For: 4.0.1
While formats like {*}Avro{*}, {*}Parquet{*}, and others support higher
precision timestamps (including microseconds ::
[https://avro.apache.org/docs/1.11.0/spec.html|https://avro.apache.org/docs/1.11.0/spec.html#Timestamp+%28microsecond+precision%29]),
Kafka Connect has been limited to handling only millisecond precision
(timestamp).
As a result, any timestamp data expressed in microseconds is truncated when
communicated between the Kafka Connect source and sink, leading to potential
loss of precision and data fidelity.
This change aims to extend the logical timestamp support in Kafka Connect to
include timestamp-micros. By doing so, it ensures that the full precision of
time data can be communicated accurately across the entire pipeline without any
loss of information.
