>             Project: Kafka
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: KafkaConnect
>    Affects Versions: 0.10.2.0

> The Connect Rest API allows to deploy connectors with an empty name field, which then cannot be removed through the api.
> Sending the following request:
> {code}
> {
>     "name": "",
>     "config": {
>         "connector.class": "org.apache.kafka.connect.tools.MockSourceConnector",
>         "tasks.max": "1",
>         "topics": "test-topic"
>         
>     }
> }
> {code}
> Results in a connector being deployed which can be seen in the list of connectors:
> {code}
> [
> 	"",
> 	"testconnector"
> ]{code}
> But cannot be removed via a DELETE call, as the api thinks we are trying to delete the /connectors endpoint and declines the request.
> I don't think there is a valid case for the connector name to be empty so perhaps we should add a check for this. I am happy to work on this.
