-------------------------------------
thank you !
jark!
I had other idea to implement this function, by debug source code.
add a watermark properties to defin the data type , and more one to defin format if it is varchar.
the truely deserializtion function determine by these two properties.
I 'm very agree your idea, and reasonable

> Many users reported that it is not possible for now to define an event-time field or watermark on a BIGINT column.
> Impala supports to convert BIGINT into TIMESTAMP value using TO_TIMESTAMP() function [1]. The BIGINT argument represents the number of seconds past the epoch.
> I think it makes sense to support this for Flink's TO_TIMESTAMP(). It is the converse of the UNIX_TIMESTAMP() function, which produces a BIGINT representing the number of seconds past the epoch.
