Xingcan Cui commented on FLINK-7446:
------------------------------------
Now that the rowtime field is an existing one in the stream, shall we consider
extracting the timestamps automatically instead of forcing the users to assign
them with the {{TimestampAssigner}} in advance. What if the timestamps assigned
in the {{StreamRecord}} and in the {{Row}} do not match.
> Support to define an existing field as the rowtime field for TableSource

> Currently {{DefinedRowtimeAttribute}} can define an appended rowtime field
> for a {{TableSource}}. But it would be helpful if we can support to define an
> existing field as the rowtime field. Just like registering a DataStream, the
> rowtime field can be appended but also can replace an existing field.
