             Summary: Field transformation utility for time zone conversion
                 Key: METRON-226
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/METRON-226
             Project: Metron
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Sunny Kumar
            Priority: Minor


The user would be able to provide input of the timezone for a stream in json for the specific parser. The field transformation will convert the time stamp to UTC and will also take care of the Daylight Saving offset. The code in the JSON will look like:
"fieldTransformations" : [
                   {
                      "input" : "timestamp",
                      "transformation": "TRANSFORM_TO_UTC_EPOCH",
                      "config":
                        {
                          "timeZone":"America/New_York"
                        }
                    }
                    ],
The timezone should be valid as per the list at:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones
which are supported by the java.util.TimeZone package.
An invalid timezone would be defaulted to UTC.
