Leonard Xu commented on FLINK-21978:
------------------------------------
[~twalthr] Besides conversion class may cause confusion, another confusion
source is that the `FROM_UNIXTIME(numeric [,foramtString])` treats numeric
value in seconds. And we invested some main DB vendors like snowflake
(TO_TIMESTAMP_LTZ,TO_TIMESTAMP_NTZ, FROM_UNIXTIME), oracle(FROM_UNIXTIME), most
of them treat BIGINT as seconds
> Disable cast conversion between Numeric type and TIMESTAMP_LTZ type

> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: Table SQL / Planner
> Affects Versions: 1.13.0
> Reporter: Leonard Xu

> Priority: Major
> Labels: pull-request-available

> Currently we has supported the cast conversion between Numeric type and
> TIMESTAMP_LTZ type, we suppose the numeric value e.g `Long type 1000L` as
> epoch seconds and then cast to TIMESTAMP_LTZ, but the java.lang.Long is a
> conversion class of `LocalZonedTimestampType` and treats as milliseconds.
> To avoid the inconsistency, we should disable it and encourage user to use
> `TO_TIMESTAMP_LTZ(numeric, precisoon)` function.
