Hi everyone, we aim to address dependency conflicts in Kafka Connect soon by applying class loading isolation. Feel free to take a look at KIP-146 here: *https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-146+-+Classloading+Isolation+in+Connect <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-146+-+Classloading+Isolation+in+Connect>* which describes minimal required changes to public interfaces and the general implementation approach. This is a much wanted feature for Kafka Connect. Your feedback is highly appreciated. -Konstantine
