------------------------------------
Summary: Connect distributed workers should fail if their config
is "incompatible" with leader's
Key: KAFKA-6433
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-6433
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: KafkaConnect
Affects Versions: 1.0.0
Reporter: Randall Hauch
Currently, each distributed worker config must have the same `worker.id` and
must use the same internal topics for configs, offsets, and status.
Additionally, each worker must be configured to have the same connectors, SMTs,
and converters; confusing error messages will result when some workers are able
to deploy connector tasks with SMTs while others fail when they are missing
plugins the other workers do have.
Ideally, a Connect workers would only be allowed to join the cluster if it were
"compatible" with the the existing cluster, where "compatible" perhaps includes
using the same internal topics and having the same set of plugins.
