> Configurations of connectors can get quite verbose when you have to specify the full class name, e.g. 
> connector.class=org.apache.kafka.copycat.file.FileStreamSinkConnector
> It would be nice to allow connector classes to provide shorter aliases, e.g. something like "file-sink", to make this config less verbose. Flume does this, so we can use it as an example.
