[jira] [Created] (KAFKA-7643) Connectors do not unload even when tasks fail in kafka connect

satya created KAFKA-7643:
----------------------------

             Summary: Connectors do not unload even when tasks fail in kafka connect
                 Key: KAFKA-7643
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-7643
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: KafkaConnect
            Reporter: satya


If there any issues in the tasks associated with a connector, even though the tasks fail, i have seen the connector themselves is not released many times. 

The only option out of this is like submitting an explicit request to delete the connector.

There should be a way to shut down the connectors gracefully, if there are exceptions encountered in the task that are not retriable.

In addition, Kafka connect also does not have a graceful exit option. There will be situations like server maintenance, outages etc where it would be prudent to gracefully shutdown the connectors rather than performing a DELETE through the REST endpoint.
