+ <h4><a id="connect_plugindiscovery" href="#connect_plugindiscovery">Plugin
Discovery</a></h4>
+
+ <p>Plugin discovery is the name for the strategy which the Connect worker
uses to find plugin classes and make them accessible to configure and run in
Connectors and Tasks. This is controlled by the <a
href="#connectconfigs_plugin.discovery"><code>plugin.discovery</code> worker
configuration</a>, and has a significant impact on worker startup time.
<code>SERVICE_LOAD</code> is the fastest strategy, but care should be taken to
verify that plugins are compatible before setting this configuration to
<code>SERVICE_LOAD</code>.</p>
+
+ <p>Prior to version 3.6, this strategy was not configurable, and behaved
like the <code>ONLY_SCAN</code> mode which is compatible with all plugins. For
version 3.6 and later, this mode defaults to <code>HYBRID_WARN</code> which is
also compatible with all plugins, but logs a warning for all plugins which are
incompatible with the other modes. For unit-test environments that use the
<code>EmbeddedConnectCluster</code> this defaults to the
<code>HYBRID_FAIL</code> strategy, which stops the worker with an error if an
incompatible plugin is detected. Finally, the <code>SERVICE_LOAD</code>
strategy will silently hide incompatible plugins and make them unusable.</p>
Review Comment:
I've rewritten this to make the previous paragraph more terse, and to
explain a bit more in this paragraph about why the service_load strategy is
faster.
