---------------------------------
Assignee: Greg Harris
Resolution: Fixed
> Connect converter validation does not accept class aliases
> ----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-17150
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-17150
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: connect
> Affects Versions: 3.8.0
> Reporter: Greg Harris
> Assignee: Greg Harris
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 3.8.0
>
>
> Connect allows users to specify aliases instead of full classes when
> configuring plugins. For example, the following configuration is valid:
> {noformat}
> {
> "connector.class": "FileStreamSource",
> "topic": "anything",
> "key.converter": "JsonConverter"
> }{noformat}
> In <= 3.7.1 this will pass validation and function correctly.
> In 3.8.0-rc1 this will instead fail with this error message:
> {noformat}
> [2024-07-16 13:58:54,250] ERROR Failed to instantiate key converter class
> JsonConverter; this should have been caught by prior validation logic
