Randall Hauch created KAFKA-3814: ------------------------------------ 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
