In production it is recommended that you install Kafka Connect on a separate machine from the Kafka Brokers because brokers are recommended to run by themselves on dedicated machines. Connect can be on the same machine(s) as the target source or sink (Apache Ignite in your case) or somewhere else, it really depends on target system. You have a lot of flexibility with where Connect runs and in distributed mode it stores most data in Kafka anyway. Most connectors do not use a lot of resources and often connectors run on machines shared with other apps.
