----------------------------------
[~fsk119] will this work with Debezium Json format?
> 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
> Priority: Major
>
> 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.
