> This improvement, related to [KIP-1272|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-1272%3A+Improve+Connect+configurable+components+discoverability],  introduces a common {{ConfigSpecifier}} interface for Kafka Connect components that expose configuration metadata. By unifying the existing {{config()}} method across connectors, converters, transformations, and predicates under a single contract, it simplifies component discovery, reduces code duplication, and enables uniform tooling for configuration introspection, validation, documentation, and UI generation. The change is fully backward compatible and requires no modifications to existing component implementations.
