Summary: Improve Connect configurable components discoverability
Key: KAFKA-20079
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-20079
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: connect
Reporter: Mario Fiore Vitale
This improvement, related to
[KIP-1272|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-1272%3A+Improve+Connect+configurable+components+discoverability],
introduces a common {{ConfigSpecifier}} interface for Kafka Connect
components that expose configuration metadata. By unifying the existing
{{config()}} method across connectors, converters, transformations, and
predicates under a single contract, it simplifies component discovery, reduces
code duplication, and enables uniform tooling for configuration introspection,
validation, documentation, and UI generation. The change is fully backward
compatible and requires no modifications to existing component implementations.
