Jark Wu closed FLINK-9864.
--------------------------
    Resolution: Fixed

I think we can close this issue now. Because we have more powerful formats now 
(e.g. JSON and CSV are able to parse different timestamp strings), and powerful 
function (e.g. TO_TIMESTAMP, DATE_FORMAT, FROM_UNIXTIMESTAMP).

> Currently, a timestamp must be in the top-level of a possibly nested row and 
> must have a certain format. We should think about making this more flexible 
> to cover most of the use cases.
> A first solution could be to allow a DOT operator syntax: 
> {{myfield.nested.timestamp}}
> Other cases might be:
> - The time could also be split into several field
> - Or needs to be parsed using a [date format 
> syntax|https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-master/dev/table/sql.html#date-format-specifier].
