Hello, all, I'd like to start discussion on a new KIP I'm proposing to add HTTP endpoints to Kafka Connect to give us some more insight into other non-connector plugins, like Simple Message Transformations (SMTs). The KIP would not change how Connect works in any meaningful way except to expose some more data by the endpoint, analogous to existing "ConnectorPluginsResource" class.
Looking forward to getting some feedback. Cyrus https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-494%3A+Connect+REST+Endpoint+for+Transformations+%28SMTs%29+and+other+Plugins
