Hello, I would like to propose adding support for configurable target field name in TimestampConverter SMT.
Currently, the Kafka Connect SMT TimestampConverter stores results of conversion in the same field as source, overwriting source value. In many cases there is a need to provide both source of timestamp value and result of conversion. TimestampConverter should have a config to define which field shall be used as a target filed for result of conversion. Public Interfaces name description type default Valid values importance target.field The desired name of target field for result of conversion String null Non-empty string with name of target field or null or empty string for same field as source (default: current behaviour) low I have a working implementation, which I could contribute.
