> KIP-1313 (KAFKA-20548) propose to add a unique `clientInstanceId` field to
> all request headers. This is a good improvement to be able to uniquely
> identify clients connecting to brokers.
> However, it does not help to identify "logical clients" like Kafka Streams or
> Kafka Connect tasks, which are wrappers around "physical"
> consumer/producer/admin clients.
> We should have a "logical client-instance-id" concept allowing us to identify
> these higher-level clients more easily.
> Besides Kafka Streams and Kafka Connect, also other external/third-party
> "clients wrappers" could benefit from such a feature.
