Deleting a Connector in Kafka Connect without the REST API

This technical article details an alternative method for deleting a Kafka Connect connector by sending a tombstone message to its internal configuration topic, bypassing the standard REST API. It includes step-by-step commands using tools like curl, jq, and kafkacat, and discusses the implications for compacted topics. The author notes this is not the recommended approach but a useful workaround for specific scenarios.
