-----------------------------------

             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.
