This article explains 2 ways of launching Kafka Connect: standalone mode and distributed mode.
However it operates with launching Kafka Connect manually by running some command line.
I am running official Docker image that explains nothing about the mode it operates or configuring connectors.
In my setup I know which connectors will be used, so running another http command after container is started makes no sense for me.
So, I have 2 questions about Kafka Connect docker image:
- Which mode it operates and is it possible to change this?
- How to configure a connector without manually calling http endpoint after image started?
