---------------------------------------
Summary: KIP-181 Kafka-Connect integrate with kafka ReST Proxy
Key: KAFKA-5635
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-5635
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: KafkaConnect
Reporter: Dhananjay Patkar
Kafka connect currently uses kafka clients which directly connect to kafka
brokers.
In a use case, wherein I have many kafka connect [producers] running remotely
its a challenge to configure broker information on every connect agent.
Also, in case of IP change [upgrade or cluster re-creation], we need to update
every remote connect configuration.
If kafka connect source connectors talk to ReST endpoint then client is unaware
of broker details. This way we can transparently upgrade / re-create kafka
cluster as long as ReST endpoint remains same.
