Hi Kafka users,
I've been trying to investigate this a bit further, in the documentation
for the Connect REST API, found this paragraph:
"*Note that if you try to modify, update or delete a resource under
> connector which may require the request to be forwarded to the leader,
> Connect will return status code 409 while the worker group rebalance is in
> process as the leader may change during rebalance.*"
I assumed that the Kafka all connect workers were able to update config,
etc through kafka and then config changes were received by the rest of
workers as messages from Kafka, but I guess that after reading this I was
wrong... are Kafka connect workers talking to each other via REST API?
If so, when there are connectivity issues such as not being able to
properly resolve the leader worker, is the REST API returning a HTTP 409?
Is that the expected behaviour?
Thank you very much
Best,
Javier arias
