---------------------------------------------
Summary: Track the set of topics a connector is using
Key: KAFKA-9422
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-9422
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: KafkaConnect
Affects Versions: 2.5.0
Reporter: Konstantine Karantasis
Assignee: Konstantine Karantasis
Fix For: 2.5.0
Now that soon (after
[KIP-158|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-158%3A+Kafka+Connect+should+allow+source+connectors+to+set+topic-specific+settings+for+new+topics]
is implemented) source connectors will be able to create topics during runtime
with custom topic-specific properties, in ways beyond what automatic topic
creation could allow, a nice new feature would be to also keep track which
topics are actually used per connector, after such a connector is created.
This information could be exposed by extending the Connect REST API to add a
topics endpoint under the connector endpoint (similar to the status or config
endpoints).
