Seems that `DistributedHerder#herderMetrics` is initialized [too early](https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/8e211eb72f9a45897cc37fed394a38096aa47feb/connect/runtime/src/main/java/org/apache/kafka/connect/runtime/distributed/DistributedHerder.java#L216). Could you give a try moving it later in the constructor, [maybe after config](https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/8e211eb72f9a45897cc37fed394a38096aa47feb/connect/runtime/src/main/java/org/apache/kafka/connect/runtime/distributed/DistributedHerder.java#L249), to check if the same exception happens again? ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
