>             Project: Kafka
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: KafkaConnect
>    Affects Versions: 0.11.0.0
>            Reporter: Sönke Liebau
>            Assignee: Sönke Liebau
>            Priority: Minor

> There are currently no real checks being performed against connector names and thus a lot of characters are allowed that create issues subsequently when trying to query connector state or delete connectors.
> KAFKA-4930 blacklists a few of the obvious culprits but is far from a final solution.
> We should come up with a definitive set of rules for connector names that can then be enforced.
> Kafka is very restrictive where topic names are concerned, it only allows the following characters: a-zA-Z0-9._-
> For Connect we may want to be a bit more forgiving, but probably not too much so, to avoid having to go back and fix things that were missed multiple times.
