Description

To enhance UI based applications' capability in helping users to create new connectors from default configurations, it would be very good to have an API which can fetch a connector type's configuration definition which will be filled out by users and sent back for validation and then creating a new connector out of it.

The API should be placed under connector-plugins and since connector-plugins/{connectorType}/config/validate already exists, connector-plugins/{connectorType}/config might be a good option for the new API.
