Use Cases

my elasticSearch sink dataset parameter is setted by %Y-%m-%d ，however vector internal %Y, %m, %d is derived from timestamp field which timezone is always utc， i wanna to set %Y-%m-%d using "Asia/Shang" timezone, but i found i can't without using either set global timestamp key option. or adding extra column which value timezone is setted from format_timestamp

problem： vector/vrl now is hardcode timezone value is utc， which result in parse_timestamp that default timezone is utc and could not be change , format_timestamp can set timezone, but return value type is string not timestamp ; if parse_timestamp could support timezone ,that's would be great

best wishes
