------------------------------------
Summary: Connectors should be able to know their name
Key: KAFKA-3814
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3814
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: KafkaConnect
Affects Versions: 0.9.0.1
Reporter: Randall Hauch
Assignee: Ewen Cheslack-Postava
Priority: Minor
Currently a connector implementation does not have access to the unique name
that Kafka Connect framework uses for each connector. For example, the
[http://docs.confluent.io/3.0.0/connect/userguide.html#rest-interface|REST API]
of the workers make use of this name.
The connectors could use this name in a number of ways, not the least of which
is using the name in log messages to help the administrator correlate messages
with configured connectors.
It is possible to work around this by using an additional configuration
property, although it is not ideal since the property value and connector name
might diverge, making it harder to correlate the two.
