--------------------------------------------
Summary: Connect REST API should expose whether each connector is
a source or sink
Key: KAFKA-4343
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4343
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Bug
Components: KafkaConnect
Reporter: Ewen Cheslack-Postava
Assignee: Ewen Cheslack-Postava
Currently we don't expose information about whether a connector is a source or
sink. This is useful when, e.g., categorizing connectors in a UI. Given naming
conventions we try to encourage you *might* be able to determine this via the
connector's class name, but that isn't reliable.
This may be related to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4279 as we
might just want to expose this information on a per-connector-plugin basis and
expect any users to tie the results from multiple API requests together. An
alternative that would probably be simpler for users would be to include it in
the /connectors/<name>/status output.
Note that this will require a KIP as it adds to the public REST API.
