+ * Signals whether the connector supports exactly-once delivery guarantees
with a proposed configuration.
+ * Developers can assume that worker-level exactly-once support is enabled
when this method is invoked.
+ *
+ * <p>For backwards compatibility, the default implementation will return
{@code null}, but connector developers are
+ * strongly encouraged to override this method to return a non-null value
such as
+ * {@link ExactlyOnceSupport#SUPPORTED SUPPORTED} or {@link
ExactlyOnceSupport#UNSUPPORTED UNSUPPORTED}.
+ *
+ * <p>Similar to {@link #validate(Map) validate}, this method may be
called by the runtime before the
+ * {@link #start(Map) start} method is invoked when the connector will be
run with exactly-once support.
Review comment:
It seems relevant to the implementer whether the configs have been
validated or not. If they're not guaranteed by the contract to have been
validated then the implementer might need to duplicate some of the validation
logic in this method.
