----------------------------
Summary: Connectors do not unload even when tasks fail in kafka
connect
Key: KAFKA-7643
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-7643
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Bug
Components: KafkaConnect
Reporter: satya
If there any issues in the tasks associated with a connector, even though the
tasks fail, i have seen the connector themselves is not released many times.
The only option out of this is like submitting an explicit request to delete
the connector.
There should be a way to shut down the connectors gracefully, if there are
exceptions encountered in the task that are not retriable.
In addition, Kafka connect also does not have a graceful exit option. There
will be situations like server maintenance, outages etc where it would be
prudent to gracefully shutdown the connectors rather than performing a DELETE
through the REST endpoint.
