Greg Harris commented on KAFKA-19758:
-------------------------------------
I don't think you and I are using the word "isolation" in the same way, and
maybe that's the cause of some of the friction here. The boundaries of
isolation are still specified at installation time in the same way as they were
before, only now users can choose older versions for each plugin.
It feels strange (that 1.8+1.1 and 1.9+1.0 are broken) because static field
sharing adds context that operators have to keep in mind when doing upgrades.
Users are going to want to focus on data-flow/semantics when performing
upgrades, not debugging static field aliasing.
FWIW, static field sharing between plugins has never been in the mental model
for Connect plugins, and the threading model/initialization order/lifecycle of
plugins isn't well defined enough for static fields to be safe to use. That is
why I want to push back strongly on this practice, while still admitting that
we broke backwards compat and need to fix it.

> This is evidence that the emitters map is not shared between the connector
> and the SMT.
> The situation becomes weirder if I remove all connectors from the image
> except PostgreSQL and MongoDB.
> In that case, the PostgreSQL connector works perfectly.
> The plugins are in the folder */kafka/connect* (that is, the only
> `plugin.path` configured folder), each under a dedicated folder with their
> dependencies.
> I then started to add more connectors, and it continued to work until I added
> the SQL Server connector.
> To summarize, the problem arises when I put one or all of [sqlserver,
> spanner,vitess].

> The commonality for these connectors seems to be that they support
> multi-task. The others don't.
> Am I correct that Kafka Connect guarantees that each connector is loaded with
> an isolated class loader with its dependencies so that the static emitters
> should be shared between the Connector and the SMT?
> To add more, if I run the image from 3.2.0.Final (so Kafka 4.0.0) with all
> connectors, it works fine.
> I did other tests, and things are more and more weird. All tests were done
> with *{{plugin.path=/kafka/connect}}* and *KC 4.1*
> My original tests were with this directory structure

> {code:java}
> /kafka/connect
> |___ debezium-connector-postgres
> |___ debezium-connector-mongodb
> |___ debezium-connector-sqlserver{code}
>
> In this case, each connector should be isolated from each others (having a
> dedicated class loader). In that case, the sharing between the connector and
> SMT does not work for KC 4.0
> Then I tried with

> /kafka/connect
> |___ debezium-connectors
> |___ debezium-connector-postgres
> |___ debezium-connector-mongodb
> |___ debezium-connector-sqlserver{code}

> So all connectors are not isolated and share the same class loader. In this
> case, no issue. And I'll say that this is expected.

> where *{{postgres}}* and *{{mongodb}}* are not isolated (same classloader)
> and *{{sqlserver}}* is isolated (different classloader), and in this case, it
> still works. I expected this to fail as with the first setup.
> The SMT is in the *debezium-core* jar that and each connector has its own copy
> So in each connector folder, there are:
> {code:java}
> debezium-api-3.3.0.Final.jar
> debezium-common-3.3.0.Final.jar
> debezium-connector-[connectorName]-3.3.0.Final.jar
> debezium-core-3.3.0.Final.jar
