Description

Developers who are implementing a Kafka Connector do not have a convenient way to access the Task ID and Connector Name within their task implementation. The Task ID and Connector Name are important pieces of information that can be used for custom metrics, debugging, and logging. 

KIP-449 added the Task ID and Connector Name to the SLF4J MDC. It was accepted, and released as part of AK 2.3.0. That added the task context to the logs. It would be nice to take it a step further and make the Task ID and Connector Name available for developers to use within their task implementation however they see fit.
