I'm trying to read a simple text /tmp/my-test.txt using kafka connect. Below is my file source properties file.

connect-file-source.properties

name=local-file-source
connector.class=FileStreamSource
tasks.max=1
file=/tmp/my-test.txt
topic=my-connect-test

Error that I get while starting the connector worker: org.apache.kafka.connect.errors.ConnectException: Failed to find any class that implements Connector and which name matches FileStreamSource

Do i need to install a FileStreamSource plugin in the kafka classpath. I read it comes bundled with the kafka.

Depending on how you've installed Kafka Connect, you might need to specify the plugin.path in the worker's configuration.
