-----------------------------------
Summary: Define allowed characters for connector names
Key: KAFKA-5669
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-5669
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: KafkaConnect
Affects Versions: 0.11.0.0
Reporter: Sönke Liebau
Assignee: Sönke Liebau
Priority: Minor
There are currently no real checks being performed against connector names and
thus a lot of characters are allowed that create issues subsequently when
trying to query connector state or delete connectors.
KAFKA-4930 blacklists a few of the obvious culprits but is far from a final
solution.
We should come up with a definitive set of rules for connector names that can
then be enforced.
Kafka is very restrictive where topic names are concerned, it only allows the
following characters: a-zA-Z0-9._-
For Connect we may want to be a bit more forgiving, but probably not too much
so, to avoid having to go back and fix things that were missed multiple times.
