Research direction

Start by locating the MySQL connector's timestamp consumption and compatibility handling, then compare behavior with mysql-connector-java 8.x, especially LocalDateTime values loaded in a Flink job. Done means timestamp data can be consumed with the MySQL 8.x driver without connector compatibility errors.

When submitting a Flink job, all the JARs under the Flink lib directory are loaded. When there is a mysql-connector-java-8.xx.xx.jar in the lib directory, the MySQL connector consumes timestamp data as LocalDateTime type. Due to the lack of compatibility in the connector, it fails to consume the data, resulting in errors in the job.

Therefore, adding logic to accommodate the mysql-connector-java-8.xx.xx.jar driver.
