C0urante opened a new pull request, #14694: URL: https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/14694
The discussion around [KIP-987](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-987%3A+Connect+Static+Assignments) has highlighted some strange behavior in the Connect runtime: if a connector's [taskConfigs method](https://kafka.apache.org/36/javadoc/org/apache/kafka/connect/connector/Connector.html#taskConfigs(int)) returns more tasks than the value for its configuration's [tasks.max property](https://kafka.apache.org/documentation.html#sourceconnectorconfigs_tasks.max), nothing happens (i.e., every task the connector generated a config for is brought up). In [KAFKA-15575](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-15575), we discuss the possibility of taking action in this situation: failing the connector, only bringing up `tasks.max` tasks, and others. We may adopt one of these approaches in the future. For now, this warning message should at least get the ball rolling and decrease the likelihood of buggy connectors causing problems for Connect clusters that use static assignment (if/when that feature lands). ### Committer Checklist (excluded from commit message) - [ ] Verify design and implementation - [ ] Verify test coverage and CI build status - [ ] Verify documentation (including upgrade notes) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
