[jira] [Created] (KAFKA-9422) Track the set of topics a connector is using

Konstantine Karantasis created KAFKA-9422:
---------------------------------------------

             Summary: Track the set of topics a connector is using
                 Key: KAFKA-9422
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-9422
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: KafkaConnect
    Affects Versions: 2.5.0
            Reporter: Konstantine Karantasis
            Assignee: Konstantine Karantasis
             Fix For: 2.5.0



Now that soon (after [KIP-158|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-158%3A+Kafka+Connect+should+allow+source+connectors+to+set+topic-specific+settings+for+new+topics] is implemented) source connectors will be able to create topics during runtime with custom topic-specific properties, in ways beyond what automatic topic creation could allow, a nice new feature would be to also keep track which topics are actually used per connector, after such a connector is created. 

This information could be exposed by extending the Connect REST API to add a topics endpoint under the connector endpoint (similar to the status or config endpoints).
