########## connect/runtime/src/main/java/org/apache/kafka/connect/runtime/standalone/StandaloneHerder.java: ########## @@ -243,7 +248,11 @@ public synchronized void requestTaskReconfiguration(String connName) { log.error("Task that requested reconfiguration does not exist: {}", connName); return; } - updateConnectorTasks(connName); + try { + updateConnectorTasks(connName); + } catch (Exception e) { + log.error("Unable to generate task configs for {}", connName, e); + } Review Comment: Yes this is a change in behavior. There is precedent for throwing ConnectException from ConnectorContext::requestTaskReconfiguration, so perhaps wrapping this in a ConnectException and propagating it would be a better behavior. I can move this to HerderConnectorContext, except it would only be effective for the standalone herder. We can also see this as an opportunity to improve the StandaloneHerder by handling reconfigurations asynchronously and retry them in the background, rather than 500'ing the REST API or dropping the failure silently. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
