Given a Kafka Connect distributed cluster with 3 workers and 5 connectors, how are connectors assigned to workers?
AConnectors are distributed evenly across available workers
BAll connectors run on a single worker only
CConnectors run only on the first worker started
DConnectors are assigned randomly without coordination
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:

  1. Step 1: Understand distributed mode behavior

    In distributed mode, Kafka Connect balances connectors across workers for load distribution.

  2. Step 2: Evaluate options

    Running all connectors on one worker or random assignment contradicts the distributed design.

  3. Final Answer:

    Connectors are distributed evenly across available workers -> Option A

  4. Quick Check:

    Distributed mode = Even connector distribution [OK]
Quick Trick: Distributed mode balances connectors across workers [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Assuming connectors run only on one worker
  • Thinking assignment is random without coordination
  • Confusing standalone mode with distributed mode
