Summary: Provide an API to retrieve Kafka Connect task
configurations
Key: KAFKA-10333
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-10333
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: KafkaConnect
Reporter: Mickael Maison
Assignee: Mickael Maison
Kafka Connect exposes an API to retrieve configurations from connectors.
Connectors are responsible for creating tasks. When doing so, they have to
build configurations for individual tasks. In some case, the configuration can
be passed as is to tasks but in some others, the configuration is mutated to
make tasks do specific work.
For example with MirrorSourceConnector, the connector configuration has a field
"topics" which is a list of topics and patterns to mirror. When the connector
builds task configurations, it resolves the list of topic names and patterns to
exact partitions and spread the partitions over all the tasks.
It would be useful to identify the exact configuration each task is given.
For MM2, it would allow identifying the partitions that matched the topics
field. I would also help understanding the impact when a task fails
