             Summary: Modbus - Kafka does not close the connections
                 Key: PLC4X-322
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PLC4X-322
             Project: Apache PLC4X
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Integration-Kafka-Connect
    Affects Versions: 0.9.0
         Environment: WSL2 (Ubuntu 20.04) 
            Reporter: Fernando 


Hello, 

I have been testing the connector and Kafka connects for a few weeks now. To do 
these tests, I try to ingest measurements from a sensor using Modbus, and this 
measurement ingestion is done correctly. The problem arises when I decide to 
remove the connector, as this connection is not closed by default with my 
sensor, which leads me to serious problems (due to the limitation of devices 
that read by Modbus, limited to 4 users per manufacture). The only way I can 
close these connections is to restart the kafka connect container. Is there any 
option or way to force these connections to close? Additionally, here are the 
steps to replicate this error: 

1. Initially, I don't have any connector launched, so I don't have any active 
connection: active: 0, waiting: 0

2. Then, I launch the connector using Kafka Rest API. At this moment, we're 
importing data into the kafka cluster. Using curl, we can see that the 
connector is working: curl -X 'GET' http://localhost:18083/connectors/ -> 
["modbus-office"]. We can see right now that we only have 1 active connection: 
active: 1, waiting: 0

3. I delete the kafka connector using the rest API: curl -X 'DELETE' 
http://localhost:18083/connectors/modbus-office. So, now, using the previous 
command from the previous point, we don't see any active connector, but, 
analysing the active connections from the sensor, it can be seen that there is 
one active connection: active: 1, waiting: 0. 

This is what is giving me problems, as in theory, there should not be any 
active connections at the moment. We have made a proxy to limit the number of 
active connections, but so far, we have not been able to close it manually 
using the REST API of Kafka or some configuration of the connector.
