Hi everyone, we aim to address dependency conflicts in Kafka Connect soon by applying class loading isolation.
Feel free to take a look at KIP-145 here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-145+Classloading+Isolation+in+Connect which describes minimal required changes in the public interfaces and the general implementation approach. This is a much wanted feature for Kafka Connect. Your feedback is highly appreciated. -Konstantine
