Sönke Liebau created KAFKA-5669: ----------------------------------- 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
