Hi Gunnar, As far as the Connect behavior goes, sounds like https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-12252. To verify, you can either set the 'connect.protocol' property of your Connect cluster to 'compatible' (easy mode) or cherry-pick the recently-merged fix for it ( https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/10014) onto the version of Connect you're running, rebuild, and try again. Either step should prevent the symptoms you describe, and if not, a new Jira ticket is likely warranted.
