Ability to use epoch and to also specify the format of a RecordField when using TimeBasedPartitioner

[bwilliams42]

Hi. I added some functionality to use epoch seconds and to also specify the format of a RecordField when using TimeBasedPartitioner. For this I added two configuration attributes.

is.epoch can be true but defaults to false. timestamp.field.format which expects a java date format string.

I think it is useful and would like to share it. Thanks.

@kkonstantine happy Wednesday.I'm pinging you as I'm not sure what the protocol is. So if this is incorrect i apologize and ask that you let me know what the preferred process is. Thanks.

AFAIK, this feature set is already possible by putting a TimestampConverter$Value ahead of the Sink connector

@cricket007 Thats true, but timestampConverter changes the value of the field. There may be cases where we don't want to update the field value and keep it in same format.
