"message.timestamp.input" not working?

[hifromrio]

Hi,

I'm trying to parse the date from a JSON file:

secor.common.properties:
message.timestamp.input.pattern:u'MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss'
secor.message.parser.class=com.pinterest.secor.parser.JsonMessageParser

Input:
"u'04/26/2017 14:59:50'"

Output:
java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "u'04/26/2017 14:59:50'"
at sun.misc.FloatingDecimal.readJavaFormatString(FloatingDecimal.java:1250)
at java.lang.Double.valueOf(Double.java:504)
at com.pinterest.secor.parser.JsonMessageParser.extractTimestampMillis(JsonMessageParser.java:42)
at com.pinterest.secor.parser.TimestampedMessageParser.extractPartitions(TimestampedMessageParser.java:175)
at com.pinterest.secor.parser.MessageParser.parse(MessageParser.java:60)
at com.pinterest.secor.consumer.Consumer.consumeNextMessage(Consumer.java:145)
at com.pinterest.secor.consumer.Consumer.run(Consumer.java:98)

I think, the pattern is not even used, because if the pattern was wrong, the result would be a java.text.ParseException. It looks like the pattern is not even used, but I don't know why. Any help is highly appreciated...

Best Regards
David
