Randall Hauch reopened KAFKA-5669: ---------------------------------- > Define allowed characters for connector names > --------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-5669 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-5669 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: KafkaConnect > Affects Versions: 0.11.0.0 > Reporter: Sönke Liebau > Assignee: Sönke Liebau > Priority: Minor > > There are currently no real checks being performed against connector names > and thus a lot of characters are allowed that create issues subsequently when > trying to query connector state or delete connectors. > KAFKA-4930 blacklists a few of the obvious culprits but is far from a final > solution. > We should come up with a definitive set of rules for connector names that can > then be enforced. > Kafka is very restrictive where topic names are concerned, it only allows the > following characters: a-zA-Z0-9._- > For Connect we may want to be a bit more forgiving, but probably not too much > so, to avoid having to go back and fix things that were missed multiple times. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
