If a connector fails on startup, the original cause of the error gets discarded by the framework and the only message that gets logged looks like this: ``` [2020-12-04 16:46:30,464] ERROR [Worker clientId=connect-1, groupId=connect-cluster] Failed to start connector 'conn-1' (org.apache.kafka.connect.runtime.distributed.DistributedHerder) org.apache.kafka.connect.errors.ConnectException: Failed to start connector: conn-1 at org.apache.kafka.connect.runtime.distributed.DistributedHerder.lambda$startConnector$5(DistributedHerder.java:1297) at org.apache.kafka.connect.runtime.Worker.startConnector(Worker.java:258) at org.apache.kafka.connect.runtime.distributed.DistributedHerder.startConnector(DistributedHerder.java:1321) at org.apache.kafka.connect.runtime.distributed.DistributedHerder.access$1400(DistributedHerder.java:127) at org.apache.kafka.connect.runtime.distributed.DistributedHerder$13.call(DistributedHerder.java:1329) at org.apache.kafka.connect.runtime.distributed.DistributedHerder$13.call(DistributedHerder.java:1325) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:264) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1128) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:628) at java.base/java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:834) ``` ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
