Failed Tasks automatic restart in Connectors

[AishD3]

I am writing with respect to connector and tasks restarts . Would like to know , what would be the difference between Solution in
https://strimzi.io/blog/2023/01/25/auto-restarting-connectors/ and Proposal document which is recently added here https://github.com/strimzi/proposals/blob/main/007-restarting-kafka-connect-connectors-and-tasks.md.

What kind of difference do you have in mind? The auto-restarting of connectors as described in the blog post is a subset of the proposal you linked.

[AishD3]

Does the existing autorerstart: Enabled true will it automatically restart failed tasks alone.

[AishD3]

Example when we enable autoRestart to true
Will it restart all tasks

or
only failed tasks like this /restart?includeTasks=true&onlyFailed=true

[scholzj]

It should restart only failed tasks as far as I know, yes.

[AishD3]

Is it possible to test once in your side , because when we used this feature and when we wanted to restart only failed tasks , This config was restarting all the tasks or the worker , because of which we have some impact in the connector that we use.

I'm sorry, I do not have time to test it, you would have to test it yourself. The source code says it should restart only failed.
