I am trying to setup kafka connect in Intellij IDE so that I can understand how it works especially the way it loads the jar files in the plugin path and how it calls the methods present in the jar so that I can develop solutions on top of that. I have searched for docs but I am not able find any good guide that explains on this. please help me by providing any information available for the same.

You would clone Kafka source code
Then you can set breakpoints in the connect module, and attach a remote debugger to a running Connect JVM
What is a simple, effective way to debug custom Kafka connectors?

based on the post in the link export CONNECT_DEBUG=y; export DEBUG_SUSPEND_FLAG=y; should I add those two as ENV variables since I am suing docker compose to run kafka connect ? – lokhnath thyagarajan Oct 14 '20 at 15:57

You can, yes. But it would be `KAFKA_DEBUG` instead of `CONNECT_DEBUG` – OneCricketeer Oct 14 '20 at 18:16
