> While formats like {*}Avro{*}, {*}Parquet{*}, and others support higher precision timestamps (including microseconds :: [https://avro.apache.org/docs/1.11.0/spec.html|https://avro.apache.org/docs/1.11.0/spec.html#Timestamp+%28microsecond+precision%29]), Kafka Connect has been limited to handling only millisecond precision (timestamp). 
> As a result, any timestamp data expressed in microseconds is truncated when communicated between the Kafka Connect source and sink, leading to potential loss of precision and data fidelity.
> This change aims to extend the logical timestamp support in Kafka Connect to include timestamp-micros. By doing so, it ensures that the full precision of time data can be communicated accurately across the entire pipeline without any loss of information.
