There was this issue: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4527 which was a test failure that had to do with updating the status as soon as the request to pause the connector was received rather than after it was processed. The corresponding PR fixed that (and will be released in 0.10.2.0).
If your connector is not properly responding to requests to stop, it's possible you would see the connector continue to process data incorrectly. If it is receiving the request to stop processing data (source connectors will be stopped, sink connectors will simply pause consumption), then it sounds like you found a way to trigger a bug. If you have a set of steps to reproduce the issue, a bug report would be appreciated. -Ewen On Mon, Jan 16, 2017 at 11:01 PM, Stephane Maarek < steph...@simplemachines.com.au> wrote: > Hi, > > I have paused my connector yet it’s still very much active and processing > data.
