----------------------------------------------
Summary: Do not include file stream connectors in Connect's
CLASSPATH and plugin.path by default
Key: KAFKA-13748
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-13748
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Bug
Components: KafkaConnect
Reporter: Konstantine Karantasis
Assignee: Konstantine Karantasis
Fix For: 3.2.0, 3.1.1, 3.0.2
File stream connectors have been included with Kafka Connect distributions from
the very beginning. These simple connectors were included to show case
connector implementation but were never meant to be used in production and have
been only available for the straightforward demonstration of Connect's
capabilities through our quick start guides.
Given that these connectors are not production ready and yet they offer access
to the local filesystem, with this ticket I propose to remove them from our
deployments by default by excluding these connectors from the {{CLASSPATH}} or
the default {{{}plugin.path{}}}.
The impact will be minimal. Quick start guides will require a single
additional step of editing the {{plugin.path}} to include the single package
that includes these connectors. Production deployments will remain unaffected
because these are not production grade connectors.
