--------------------------------------------
Summary: Provide utilities for polling source connectors
Key: KAFKA-3819
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3819
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Bug
Components: KafkaConnect
Reporter: Ewen Cheslack-Postava
Assignee: Ewen Cheslack-Postava
Source connectors that need to poll for data are currently responsible for
managing their own sleeping/backoff if they don't have any new data available.
This is becoming a very common pattern. It's also easy to implement it
incorrectly, e.g. by using Thread.sleep and not properly interrupting on stop().
We should probably provide some utilities, maybe just exposed via the Context
object to implement this for connector developers.
