KIP-197 — Connect REST API should include the connector type when describing a connector

Accepted Kafka 1.0 ConnectAdmin

KIP-197 adds a `type` field (`source` or `sink`) to the JSON responses of `GET /connectors/{name}` and `GET /connectors/{name}/status` in the Kafka Connect REST API. Without the type field, client tools and UIs must infer connector type from naming conventions in the connector class name, which is unreliable.
