Summary: Broken Kafka Connect node to node communication if invalid hostname is in place Key: KAFKA-10231 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-10231 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Bug Components: KafkaConnect Affects Versions: 2.4.1, 2.5.0, 2.3.1, 2.4.0 Reporter: Pere Urbon-Bayes As a Kafka Connect operator I would expect a more definitive error when the internal node to node communication can't happen. If the hostname contains an invalid character according to the [RFC1123 section 2.1|[https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1123#page-13]], the error raised by the Kafka Connect worker node look like: {quote}{{[2020-06-30 10:38:49,990] ERROR Uncaught exception in REST call to /connectors (org.apache.kafka.connect.runtime.rest.errors.ConnectExceptionMapper)}}{{java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid URI host: null (authority: kafka_connect-0.cdh-dev-2:8083)}}{{ at org.eclipse.jetty.client.HttpClient.checkHost(HttpClient.java:506)}}{{ at org.eclipse.jetty.client.HttpClient.newHttpRequest(HttpClient.java:491)}}{{ at org.eclipse.jetty.client.HttpClient.newRequest(HttpClient.java:449)}}{{ at org.eclipse.jetty.client.HttpClient.newRequest(HttpClient.java:438)}}{{ at org.apache.kafka.connect.runtime.rest.RestClient.httpRequest(RestClient.java:83)}}{{ at org.apache.kafka.connect.runtime.rest.resources.ConnectorsResource.completeOrForwardRequest(ConnectorsResource.java:309)}}{{ at org.apache.kafka.connect.runtime.rest.resources.ConnectorsResource.createConnector(ConnectorsResource.java:138)}} {quote} it would be much nicer for operators that such situations are detected in similar, or improved, version as the JVM is doing in the [IDN class|[https://github.com/JetBrains/jdk8u_jdk/blob/master/src/share/classes/java/net/IDN.java#L291]]. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
