--------------------------------
Summary: Make Debezium Json format support timestamp with timezone
Key: FLINK-18747
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-18747
Project: Flink
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Formats (JSON, Avro, Parquet, ORC, SequenceFile)
Reporter: Leon Hao
Debezium Connector for MySQL maps timestamp datatype to ISO 8601 with time zone
format like '2020-07-29T01:09:52.534173Z'. Current code doesn't support the
timestamp with time zone even if we set
'debezium-json.timestamp-format.standard' = 'ISO-8601'. I think we should
support it because:
1. ISO-8601 itself supports timestamp with timezone.
2. Sometimes we need to CDC many tables with many timestamp fields from Mysql.
It would be a waste of time to convert these fields from string to timestamp
manually as proposed by this post FLINK-17752
3. It is very confusing to users when errors occur although the document says
Flink supports debezium json format and ISO-8601.
I think we can create a new debezium-json.timestamp-format option to support
timestamp with time zone or have a better documentation letting users know
Flink dose not support it.
