Ewen Cheslack-Postava commented on KAFKA-5000:
----------------------------------------------

Should this be logs or just covered by the metrics that, while still missing, we want to add?

> We get many questions of the type:
> "I started a connector, it doesn't seem to make any progress, I don't know what to do"
> I think that periodic "progress reports" on the worker logs may help. 
> We have the offset commit message: "INFO WorkerSinkTask{id=cassandra-sink-connector-0} Committing offsets (org.apache.kafka.connect.runtime.WorkerSinkTask:244)"
> But I think we'd also want to know: topic, partition, offsets, how many rows were read from source/kafka and how many were successfully written.
> This will help determine if there is any progress being made and whether some partitions are "stuck" for some reason.
