Description
I need to specify the event time when consuming pubsub data.
```
PCollection pubsubMessages = pipeline.apply("Read Pub/Sub Data",
PubsubIO.readMessagesWithAttributes()
.withTimestampAttribute(options.getTimeAttribute())
.fromSubscription(options.getInputSubscription()));
```
The only way to do this is to use the {color:#ff0000}withTimestampAttribute(){color} method.
But if I use a timestamp in some other format, such as a 19-bit nanosecond, or if save the event time in the payload. The method won't work !
So I had to extend the PubsubClient class and override the PubsubClient. extractTimestamp() method.
I'am hoping to provide a way to pass in some implementation class that would allow to parse out timestamp from the current pubsub message.
My beam version is 2.19.0.
