Hi, I have some questions about the configuration of the Kafka Connect REST interface.
1) What are the configuration options rest.advertised.host.name and rest.advertised.port useful for? The documentation says "If this is set, this is the hostname that will be given out to other workers to connect to." - does this mean that the workers actually talk with each other through the REST interface? I thought that they coordinate through Kafka brokers and the REST is only for users. 2) Is there some way how to secure the REST interface? I would be thinking SSL encryption and possibly also SSL client authentication. In the docu, the SSL related configuration parameters seem to be there only to connect to Kafka brokers, but not for the REST interface. Unless there is something hidden (and undocumented), I would probably raise a KIP because it seem to me as valuable feature. Thanks & Regards Jakub
