Hi all. While we are in the midst of some very interesting KIP discussions, I'd like to bring a brief and useful KIP on the table as well.
It's about enabling redirection of log4j logging to a file for Kafka Connect by default, in a way similar to how this is done for Kafka brokers today. You might find it short and straightforward but, still, needs to be discussed as a KIP since it's an externally visible (yet compatible) change in how Connect logs its status during runtime. Here's a link to the KIP: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-521%3A+Enable+redirection+of+Connect%27s+log4j+messages+to+a+file+by+default Looking forward to your comments!
