Hey Ewen,
Just a quick question. It looks like we're returning a simple array
containing the classnames. Would it make sense to return a set of objects
instead? For example:
[
{ "class": "org.apache.kafka.connect.file.FileStreamSourceConnector"},
{ "class": "org.apache.kafka.connect.file.FileStreamSinkConnector" }
]
Then we'd be able to include additional fields later without breaking
compatibility. Other than that, it makes sense to me.
