Howdy, I would like to propose a new (hopefully not too controversial) KIP to publish new metrics to accurately report the number of skipped records in Kafka Connect.
KIP: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-1108%3A+Publish+metrics+for+skipped+records+in+Kafka+Connect I look forward for your thoughts and improvements on this KIP Cheers, Hector
