Satendra, the Connect REST API enables starting, stopping, and
reconfiguring Connecters in a distributed Connect cluster. Kafka Connect,
more generally, is a framework for connecting Kafka to external data
sources, e.g. Change Data Capture from relational databases, etc.

Hi Ryan,

Thanks. Since I am new to Kafka don’t understand how to configures rest api and how to reconfigure connectors. In general I don’t know how to run GET /connector command and where to run.

Please elaborate.
