Hi Team,
I wanted to know how everyone is solving the problem of not having a now() or current_timestamp() function to use at ingestion time in order to monitor at what time the record gets ingested in the druid datasource. I went through the issue given in the link below and understand why it is not recommended to have such a feature. Through kafka timestamp we just have an idea of when the message entered kafka. But there is still a need for such features to know the recorded time at which data entered druid. If anyone has implemented a fix for this please let me know.
