> There are quite a few metrics available for source/sink connectors, and many of them are numeric (JMX type "double"), but there are a few attributes that have string values that are still tagged as "double".
> For example:
> Bean: kafka.connect:connector=my-source,type=connector-metrics Attribute: status
> The Attribute Description says: "The status of the connector task. One of 'unassigned', 'running', 'paused', 'failed', or 'destroyed'."
> The value is currently "running" on my instance.
> This causes difficulty for anything that tries to introspect the JMX attribute metadata and then parse/display the data.
> See also [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50291157/which-jmx-metric-should-be-used-to-monitor-the-status-of-a-connector-in-kafka-co] where this problem is mentioned in one of the answers (dating back to 2018).
> The attribute metadata should be updated to indicate the correct type.
> I suspect the problem lies at line 220 of `org.apache.kafka.common.metrics.JmxReporter` (in version 2.5.0) where a hardcoded `double.class.getName()` is used as the mbean data type even for metrics with a type of String.
