--------------------------------------

             Summary: Connect's plugin.path documentation does not match behavior
                 Key: KAFKA-19404
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-19404
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: connect
            Reporter: Mickael Maison


The doc currently states:
{quote}The list should consist of top level directories that include any combination of:
a) directories immediately containing jars with plugins and their dependencies
b) uber-jars with plugins and their dependencies
c) directories immediately containing the package directory structure of classes of plugins and their dependencies
{quote}
In practice plugins are found even if they are in nested directories. For example we can set {{plugin.path}} to {{/var/plugins}} and it will find all these plugins:
{noformat}
/var/plugins
└── nested1
    └── nested2
        ├── plugin1
        │   └── plugin1.jar
        ├── plugin2
        │   └── plugin2.jar
        ├── plugin3
            └── plugin3.jar
{noformat}

I think we should adjust the documentation to match the current behavior
