Add a free field to kafka-connect configs UI / support all configurations of connectors #705

Open raphaelauv opened 3 years ago

raphaelauv commented 3 years ago

My use case is :

I have some specific value.converter. or key.converter. configurations

Its not possible to add a non referenced config to the connector from the UI
configs UI do not show custom config of the current connector, so my previous configuration do not show up

this "free_fields" could be key:value map so the user can precise value of each custom key.

Seems to be a good solution I think, there is some edge case for connect configurations (specially custom one). PR are welcome :smile:

Hi, probably related to this issue: We also use these converter specific configurations. If we now change, e.g., max.tasks, using the AKHQ UI, the now updated connector does not include the converter specific configurations anymore. Should I open a new issue for that?

tchiotludo commented 3 years ago

I think it's the same issue

raphaelauv commented 3 years ago

Yes, I renamed the issue to explicit the support of all current configuration fields of the connector
