Hi!
@Arvid: We are using Avro 1.8 I believe but this problem seems to come from
the flink side as Dawid mentioned.
@Dawid:
Sounds like a reasonable explanation, here are the actual queries to
reproduce within the SQL client/table api:
CREATE TABLE source_table (
int_field INT,
timestamp_field TIMESTAMP(3)
) WITH (
'connector.type' = 'kafka',
'connector.version' = 'universal',
'connector.topic' = 'avro_tset',
'connector.properties.bootstrap.servers' = '<...>',
'format.type' = 'avro',
'format.avro-schema' =
'{
"type": "record",
"name": "test",
"fields" : [
{"name": "int_field", "type": "int"},
{"name": "timestamp_field", "type": {"type":"long",
"logicalType": "timestamp-millis"}}
]
}'
)
INSERT INTO source_table VALUES (12, TIMESTAMP '1999-11-11 11:11:11');
And the error:
Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: java.time.LocalDateTime
cannot be cast to java.lang.Long

I will open a Jira ticket as well with these details.
Thank you!
