March 2025 monthly work summary for apache/flink-cdc: Key achievement focused on improving op_ts metadata handling documentation for the MySQL pipeline connector. Added comprehensive docs explaining the op_ts operation timestamp metadata field in SourceRecords and provided a practical transform module usage example. This aligns with FLINK-36784 and is backed by commit 1ac12c396d2f20c383fa38e75b7204631c4a6ef7. No major bugs fixed this month; however, the documentation work enhances observability and correctness in event-time semantics across the MySQL CDC pipeline. Overall impact: improved developer onboarding, clearer guidance for metadata usage, and a more maintainable codebase. Technologies/skills demonstrated: technical documentation, metadata semantics in Flink CDC, example-driven guidance, Git-based collaboration, and attention to build-quality.
