Status

Current state: Under Discussion

Discussion thread: here [Change the link from the KIP proposal email archive to your own email thread]

JIRA: KAFKA-4279

Please keep the discussion on the mailing list rather than commenting on the wiki (wiki discussions get unwieldy fast).

Motivation

We have a REST resource that allows users to see the available plugins, but we have no equivalent that allows listing available converters. This Rest resources will help the user to see the available converters plugins before creating the connector.

Public Interfaces

We will create a new Rest resource for this requirement, the following will the REST API endpoint for Connect:

GET /converter-plugins

Proposed Changes

Compatibility, Deprecation, and Migration Plan

• This is purely a new API endpoint to get the available converts plugins.

Rejected Alternatives

Currently, there are no API endpoints available to get these details.
