Description

The Apache Kafka quickstart guide does not contain any steps for running Kafka Connect. Instead it links to the User guide, which just links back to the quickstart. The steps are present in version 2.6 of the documentation, but not in the latest.

See https://kafka.apache.org/26/documentation/#quickstart_kafkaconnect vs https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/#quickstart_kafkaconnect
