Description

Relate to KAFKA-3054;
We should keep track of the status of connector and task during their startup, execution, and handle exceptions thrown by connector and task;
Users should be able to fetch these informations by REST API and send some necessary commands(reconfiguring, restarting, pausing, unpausing) to connectors and tasks by REST API;
