Patrick Pang created KAFKA-15408: ------------------------------------ Summary: Restart failed tasks in Kafka Connect up to a configurable max-tries Key: KAFKA-15408 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-15408 Project: Kafka Issue Type: New Feature Components: KafkaConnect Reporter: Patrick Pang
h2. Issue Currently, Kafka Connect just reports failed tasks on REST API, with the error. Users are expected to monitor the status and restart individual connectors if there is transient errors. Unfortunately these are common for database connectors, e.g. transient connection error, flip of DNS, database downtime, etc. Kafka Connect silently failing due to these scenarios would lead to stale data downstream. h2. Proposal Kafka Connect should be able to restart failed tasks automatically, up to a configurable max-tries. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
