Hey Jakub,

Sorry for not getting to this sooner. Overall the proposal looks good to
me, I just had a couple of questions.

1. For the configs/overrides, does this happen on a per-setting basis or if
one override is included do we not use any of the original settings? I
suspect that if you need to override one setting, it probably means you're
using an entirely different config and so the latter behavior seems better
to me. We've talked a bit about doing something similar for the
producer/consumer security settings as well so you don't have to specify
security configs in 3 places in your worker config.

2. For using default values from the worker config, I am wondering how
convinced we are that it will be common for them to be the same? I really
don't have enough experience w/ these setups to know, so just a question
here. I think the other thing to take into account here is that even though
we're not dealing with authorization in this KIP, we will eventually want
it for these APIs. Would we expect to be using the same principal for Kafka
and the Connect REST API? In a case where a company has a Connect cluster
that, e.g., an ops team manages and they are the only ones that are
supposed to make changes, that would make sense to me. But for a setup
where some dev team is allowed to use the REST API to create new connectors
but the cluster is managed by an ops team, I would think the Kafka
credentials would be different. I'm not sure how frequent each case would
be, so I'm a bit unsure about the default of using the worker security
configs by default. Thoughts?

3. We should probably specify the default in the table for
rest.advertised.security.protocol because in ConfigDef if you don't specify
a default value it becomes a required config. The HTTP default will
probably need to be in there anyway.

4. Do we want to list the existing settings as deprecated and just move to
using listeners for consistency? We don't need to remove them anytime soon,
but given that the broker is doing the same, maybe we should just do that
in this KIP?

I think these are mostly small details, overall it looks like a good plan!

Thanks,
Ewen
