Konstantine Karantasis commented on KAFKA-6007:
-----------------------------------------------
I agree.
Thanks [~stephane.maa...@gmail.com] for the feedback!
I'm going to downgrade the severity of the ticket at this point, and will focus
on better error messaging shortly, targeting one of the next releases instead
of the forthcoming.

> Kafka Connect can't validate a custom transformation if placed in plugins
> path.
> Here's the output I get on the validate call:
> {code:java}
> Invalid value com.mycorp.kafka.transforms.impl.FlattenSinkRecord for
> configuration transforms.Flat.type: Class
> com.mycorp.kafka.transforms.impl.FlattenSinkRecord could not be found.
> Invalid value null for configuration transforms.Flat.type: Not a
> Transformation
> "recommended_values": [
> "com.mycorp.kafka.transforms.Flatten$Key",
> "com.mycorp.kafka.transforms.Flatten$Value",
> "com.mycorp.kafka.transforms.impl.FlattenSinkRecord",

> As you can see the class appear in the recommended values (!) but can't be
> picked up on the validate call.
> I believe it's because the recommender implements class discovery using
> plugins:
> https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/trunk/connect/runtime/src/main/java/org/apache/kafka/connect/runtime/ConnectorConfig.java#L194
> But the class inference itself doesn't:
> https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/trunk/connect/runtime/src/main/java/org/apache/kafka/connect/runtime/ConnectorConfig.java#L199
> (I'm not an expert in class loading though, just a guess... Unsure how to fix)
> A quick fix is to add the transformations in the ClassPath itself, but that
> defeats the point a bit.
