------------------------------------
Summary: Reduce startup time for Kafka Connect workers
Key: KAFKA-6208
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-6208
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: KafkaConnect
Affects Versions: 1.0.0
Reporter: Randall Hauch
Kafka Connect startup times are excessive with a handful of connectors on the
plugin path or classpath. We should not be scanning three times (once for
connectors, once for SMTs, and once for converters), and hopefully we can avoid
scanning directories that are clearly not plugin directories.
We should also consider using Java's Service Loader to quickly identify
connectors. The latter would require a KIP and would require time to for
connectors to migrate, but we could be smarter about only scanning plugin
directories that need to be scanned.
