             Summary: Possible worker_id duplication in Connect
                 Key: KAFKA-5675
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-5675
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: KafkaConnect
    Affects Versions: 0.10.2.1
            Reporter: Dustin Cote
            Priority: Minor


It's possible to set non-unique host/port combinations for workers via 
*rest.advertised.host.name* and *rest.advertised.host.port* (e.g. 
localhost:8083). While this isn't typically advisable, it can result in weird 
behavior for containerized deployments where localhost might end up being 
mapped to something that is externally facing. The worker_id today appears to 
be set as this host/port combination so you end up with duplicate worker_ids 
causing long rebalances presumably because task assignment gets confused. It 
would be good to either change how the worker_id is generated or find a way to 
not let a worker start if a worker with an identical worker_id already exists. 
In the short term, we should document the requirement of unique advertised 
host/port combinations for workers to avoid debugging a somewhat tricky 
scenario.
