--------------------------------------------

             Summary: Prefix for sink task consumer groups should be 
configurable
                 Key: KAFKA-4400
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4400
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: KafkaConnect
    Affects Versions: 0.10.1.0
            Reporter: Ewen Cheslack-Postava
            Assignee: Ewen Cheslack-Postava


Currently the prefix for creating consumer groups is fixed. This means that if 
you run multiple Connect clusters using the same Kafka cluster and create 
connectors with the same name, sink tasks in different clusters will join the 
same group. Making this prefix configurable at the worker level would protect 
against this.

An alternative would be to define unique cluster IDs for each connect cluster, 
which would allow us to construct a unique name for the group without requiring 
yet another config (but presents something of a compatibility challenge).
