Hi all, I've introduced a KIP to improve how the Connect framework handles abandoned connectors and tasks: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-611%3A+Improved+Handling+of+Abandoned+Connectors+and+Tasks
The improvements currently being proposed include new JMX metrics, a slight shuffling of worker configuration properties, and some logging additions. Would like to hear your thoughts on this and see if we can possibly squeeze it in in time for the upcoming 2.6 release :) Cheers, Chris
