> Currently we don't expose information about whether a connector is a source
> or sink. This is useful when, e.g., categorizing connectors in a UI. Given
> naming conventions we try to encourage you *might* be able to determine this
> via the connector's class name, but that isn't reliable.
> This may be related to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4279 as we
> might just want to expose this information on a per-connector-plugin basis
> and expect any users to tie the results from multiple API requests together.
> An alternative that would probably be simpler for users would be to include
> it in the /connectors/<name>/status output.
> Note that this will require a KIP as it adds to the public REST API.
