Randall Hauch commented on KAFKA-4793:
--------------------------------------
[~holdenk], thanks for submitting this. Even though this is just adding a new
REST endpoint, this is still changing the public API and so we need a KIP for
this.
> Kafka Connect: POST /connectors/(string: name)/restart doesn't start failed

> Key: KAFKA-4793

> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: KafkaConnect
> Reporter: Gwen Shapira
>
> Sometimes tasks stop due to repeated failures. Users will want to restart the
> connector and have it retry after fixing an issue.
> We expected "POST /connectors/(string: name)/restart" to cause retry of
> failed tasks, but this doesn't appear to be the case.
