How to move to KafkaConnect CRD with out deleting old KafkaConncetors

tomerikick@...
 

I have connectors which were set up using the API and not CRD of strimzi.io
Once i am setting strimzi.io/use-connector-resources: "true" in the KafkaConnect CRD
It will delete all KafkaConncetors
How to avoid this issue? How to move to KafkaConnect CRD with out deleting old KafkaConncetors?

Looks like the response did not make it to the list ... so resending again ...

When setting strimzi.io/use-connector-resources: "true", the KafkaConnector CRs will be the only source of truth for the Connectors. So to migrate, you would need to first create the KafkaConnector custom resources to match your existing connectors and only then enable the connector resources. That way, your existing connectors should not be affected.
 
There is currently no tool to do this for you - but maybe having something to prepare the KafkaConnector YAMLs for you would not be a bad idea. Feel free to open an enhancement issue for it on our GitHub if you want.
 
Thanks & Regards
