[jira] [Created] (KAFKA-5669) Define allowed characters for connector names

Sönke Liebau created KAFKA-5669:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: Define allowed characters for connector names
                 Key: KAFKA-5669
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-5669
             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.
