Description

Creating a connector via the rest api runs into a NullPointerException, when omitting the name parameter in the request.

POST 127.0.0.1:8083/connectors
{
  "config": {
    "connector.class": "org.apache.kafka.connect.tools.MockSourceConnector",
    "tasks.max": "1",
    "topics": "test-topic"
  }
}

Results in a 500 return code, due to a NullPointerException being thrown when checking the name for slashes here. I believe this was introduced with the fix for KAFKA-4372
