This is a custom converter to use with debezium (using their SPI, introduced in version 1.1)
You can use it to convert all temporal data types (in all databases) into a specified format you choose.
You can either download the .jar file from the releases and include it in your connector's folder, or add the converter as a dependency to your maven project.
You have to add this converter to each of your connectors, not just in the main folder (/kafka/connect)!
To configure this converter all you need to do is add the following lines to your connector configuration:
"converters": "timestampConverter",
"timestampConverter.type": "oryanmoshe.kafka.connect.util.TimestampConverter"There are a few configuration settings you can add, here are their default values:
"timestampConverter.format.time": "HH:mm:ss.SSS",
"timestampConverter.format.date": "YYYY-MM-dd",
"timestampConverter.format.datetime": "YYYY-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z'",
"timestampConverter.debug": "false"
