KAFKA-20027: Fix the broken quick start link#21243
Conversation

@m1a2st Good idea, done:) |
docs/getting-started/quickstart.md
Outdated
| In this quickstart we'll see how to run Kafka Connect with simple connectors that import data from a file to a Kafka topic and export data from a Kafka topic to a file. | ||
|
|
||
| First, make sure to add `connect-file-4.3.0.jar` to the `plugin.path` property in the Connect worker's configuration. For the purpose of this quickstart we'll use a relative path and consider the connectors' package as an uber jar, which works when the quickstart commands are run from the installation directory. However, it's worth noting that for production deployments using absolute paths is always preferable. See [plugin.path](/documentation/#connectconfigs_plugin.path) for a detailed description of how to set this config. | ||

Is this fix correct? It does not seem to point to an existing file

Apologies, the original URL was missing the version prefix. It looks like using a relative path is the best approach, and it should be working now.

It appears the correct link is ../configuration/kafka-connect-configs/#connectconfigs_plugin.path, right?

Thanks for the comment. The link ../configuration/kafka-connect-configs/#connectconfigs_plugin.path leads to a 404 error.

However, ../../configuration/kafka-connect-configs/#connectconfigs_plugin.path works in my environment. I am not sure if this difference is due to my specific testing method or environment setup.

I tested this on the website, and it seems that ../../configuration/kafka-connect-configs/#connectconfigs_plugin.path redirects to the correct section.

My mistake, the current version is actually correct
