Current state: Under Discussion

...

Currently we don't expose information about whether a connector is a source or sink. This is useful when, e.g., categorizing connectors in a UI. Given naming conventions we try to encourage you might be able to determine this via the connector's class name, but that isn't reliable.

Public Interfaces

We will modify the following REST API endpoint for Connect:

...

[ 
  { 
    "class": "org.apache.kafka.connect.file.FileStreamSourceConnector",
    "type": "SOURCE"
  },
  { 
    "class": "org.apache.kafka.connect.file.FileStreamSinkConnector",
    "type": "SINK"
  }
]

Compatibility, Deprecation, and Migration Plan

• This is purely an addition to the current API and is backwards compatible.
