    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-18747?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17166839#comment-17166839 ] 

Shengkai Fang commented on FLINK-18747:
---------------------------------------

Currently, we have implemented TIMESTAMP_WITH_LOCAL_ZONE datatype to support timestamp with zone in FLINK-18296.

> Debezium Connector for MySQL maps timestamp datatype to ISO 8601 with time zone format like '2020-07-29T01:09:52.534173Z'.  Current code doesn't support the timestamp with time zone even if we set 'debezium-json.timestamp-format.standard' = 'ISO-8601'. I think we should support it because:
> 1. ISO-8601 itself supports timestamp with timezone.
> 2. Sometimes we need to CDC many tables with many timestamp fields from Mysql. It would be a waste of time to convert these fields from string to timestamp manually as proposed by this post FLINK-17752
> 3. It is very confusing to users when errors occur although the document says Flink supports debezium json format and ISO-8601.
> I think we can create a new debezium-json.timestamp-format option to support timestamp with time zone or have a better documentation letting users know Flink dose not support it.
