Apply external 3 days for FLINK-20387 after feature freeze

Hi,  Dawid & Guowei

Sorry to apply the extension, I want to apply 3 days for ticket  [FLINK-20387] Support column of TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL ZONE TIME type as rowtime[1],  it is the last ticket of FLIP-162[2] which aims to solve various time zone issues and offer a consistent time function behavior.  We experienced a long discussion for this FLIP and I took some efforts to resolve the  tricky daylight saving time problem. In fact, I have been working hard to promote this FLIP recently.

But I really hope that this feature can join 1.13. The motivation is not because I want to complete this FLIP personally, but from the user's perspective that we can provide them a consistent time behavior and resolves the time zone issues naturally, we believe this will greatly improve the user experience, thus I’m asking to apply 3 days for only this ticket FLINK-20387.

Best,
Leonard

Re: Apply external 3 days for FLINK-20387 after feature freeze

+1 for more days for this FLIP.

Changing data type is a massive work, and supporting windowing on
timestamp_ltz is also
 a very complex job when considering DST. Would be great if we can have
more days to
finalize this work.

Best,
Jark

Re: Apply external 3 days for FLINK-20387 after feature freeze

Posted by Timo Walther <tw...@apache.org>.
Hi everyone,

I support Leonard's request. It was foreseeable that the changes of 
FLIP-162 will be massive and will take some time. By looking at PRs such as

https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/15280

I would also vote for giving a bit more time for proper reviews and 
finalizing this story for consistency.

Regards,
Timo
