Randall Hauch commented on KAFKA-4793:
--------------------------------------
I'm picking this up, and will add a KIP that proposes adding query parameters
to the existing `/connectors/{name}/restart` API. One query parameter will
specify whether to also include tasks when determining the instances to
restart, and another query parameter that will specify whether to restart only
failed instances.
I will post the link to the KIP here as soon as I've created it.

> Sometimes tasks stop due to repeated failures. Users will want to restart the
> connector and have it retry after fixing an issue.
> We expected "POST /connectors/(string: name)/restart" to cause retry of
> failed tasks, but this doesn't appear to be the case.
