Description

KIP-158 introduced support for Connect worker to allow source connector configurations to define topic creation settings.

A new source connector configuration topic.creation.groups was introduced, which takes a list of groups. 

Expected behavior

According to KIP-158, specifying value "default" in topic.creation.groups configration should throw a warning, but not let connector fail.

Actual behavior

Specifying "default" as one of the topic creation groups will make a connector fail
