If you want independent clusters based on the same Kafka cluster, they need independent values for config/offset/status topics. The Kafka Connect framework doesn't provide its own sort of namespacing or anything, so if you used the same topics in the same cluster, the values between different Connect clusters targeted at the same Kafka cluster would become conflated.
