----------------------------------
Summary: Deprecate and remove Connect's duplicate task
configurations retrieval endpoint
Key: KAFKA-15387
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-15387
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Task
Components: KafkaConnect
Reporter: Yash Mayya
Assignee: Yash Mayya
Fix For: 4.0.0
A new endpoint ({{{}GET /connectors/\{connector}/tasks-config){}}} was added to
Kafka Connect's REST API to expose task configurations in
[KIP-661|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-661%3A+Expose+task+configurations+in+Connect+REST+API].
However, the original patch for Kafka Connect's REST API had already added an
endpoint ({{{}GET /connectors/\{connector}/tasks){}}} to retrieve the list of a
connector's tasks and their configurations (ref -
[https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/378] ,
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2369) and this was missed in
KIP-661. We can deprecate the endpoint added by KIP-661 in 3.7 (the next minor
AK release) and remove it in 4.0 (the next major AK release) since it's
redundant to have two separate endpoints to expose task configurations. Related
