To enable other data types (e.g., {{String}}), we can > provide some system extraction functions and allow users to pass some > parameters via the constructor of {{ExistingField}}. There's [a simple > demo|https://github.com/xccui/flink/commit/afcc5f1a0ad92db08294199e61be5df72c1514f8] > which enables the {{String}} type rowtime by adding a UDF {{str2EventTime}}. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
