问题
I am trying to convert all timestamp fields to a string type with the format yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.
To transform multiple fields, I have to create a transform for each one individually.
...
"transforms":"tsFormat1,tsFormat2,...,tsFormatN",
"transforms.tsFormat1.type": "org.apache.kafka.connect.transforms.TimestampConverter$Value",
"transforms.tsFormat1.target.type": "string",
"transforms.tsFormat1.field": "ts_col1",
"transforms.tsFormat1.format": "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss",
"transforms.tsFormat2.type": "org.apache.kafka.connect.transforms.TimestampConverter$Value",
"transforms.tsFormat2.target.type": "string",
"transforms.tsFormat2.field": "ts_col2",
"transforms.tsFormat2.format": "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss",
...
"transforms.tsFormatN.type": "org.apache.kafka.connect.transforms.TimestampConverter$Value",
"transforms.tsFormatN.target.type": "string",
"transforms.tsFormatN.field": "ts_colN",
"transforms.tsFormatN.format": "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss",
...
Is there any way to apply a single transform on all timestamp columns?
I have tried,
...
"transforms":"tsFormat",
"transforms.tsFormat.type": "org.apache.kafka.connect.transforms.TimestampConverter$Value",
"transforms.tsFormat.target.type": "string",
"transforms.tsFormat.field": "ts_col1, ts_col2,..., ts_colN",
"transforms.tsFormat.format": "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss",
...
and
...
"transforms":"tsFormat",
"transforms.tsFormat.type": "org.apache.kafka.connect.transforms.TimestampConverter$Value",
"transforms.tsFormat.target.type": "string",
"transforms.tsFormat.field": "ts_col1",
"transforms.tsFormat.field": "ts_col2",
...
"transforms.tsFormat.field": "ts_colN",
"transforms.tsFormat.format": "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss",
...
What would be even better is something like numeric type matching "numeric.mapping": "best_fit". Just like how numeric.mapping applies to all numeric fields (without having to manually specify the field names) to try and find the best numeric type, is there something like this that can apply a transform or string format for all timestamp fields?
