Hi All, I'm building a custom Docker image for kafka Connect and planning to run it on Kubernetes. I'm a bit stuck on whether I should use a Deployment or a StatefulSet.

With a StatefulSet, each pod gets a stable hostname (like >connect-0, connect-1, etc.) My question is: Does it really matter for Kafka Connect(task reassignment) if the pod IPs/hostnames(this will be the worker_Id as well) change on restarts, considering its a stateless application? Thanks
