How to set `input-jdbc` statement let it can set variables？  
e.g.:

```auto
input {
  jdbc {
    #...
    jdbc_driver_class => "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
    statement => "select * from table_name_%{+yyyyMM}"
    #...
  }
}

```

Or is there another solution?

You could try loading the statement from a file via `statement_filepath` then use scripting to add the `yyyyMM` to the table name.
