Hi, Might be a simple, stupid question, but I'm not able to find how to convert/interpret a UTC datetime string like *2021-03-23T07:37:00.613910Z* as event-time using a DDL/Table API. I'm ingesting data from Kafka and can read this field as a string, but would like to mark it as event-time by defining a watermark.
I'm able to achieve this using the DataStream API, by defining my own TimestampAssigner that converts the datetime string to milliseconds since epoch. How can I do this using a SQL DDL or Table API? I tried to directly interpret the string as TIMESTAMP(3) but it fails with the following exception: java.time.format.DateTimeParseException: Text '2021-03-23T07:37:00.613910Z' could not be parsed... Any pointers? Thanks! Sumeet
