There's no API for connectors to shut themselves down because that doesn't really fit the streaming model that Kafka Connect works with -- it isn't a batch processing system. If you want to shut down a connector, you'd normally accomplish this via the REST API.
Technically you *could* accomplish this by making an HTTP request from your connector, but I'm not sure where or how you'd determine that *none* of your connector's tasks have produced any data for some time. -Ewen On Tue, Jun 14, 2016 at 7:04 AM, Florian Hussonnois <fhussonn...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi everyone, > > I would like to know if there is a way to shutdown a connector > programmatically ? > > On my project we have developped a sink-connector to write messages into > GZIP files for testing purposes.
