Description

Now that soon (after KIP-158 is implemented) source connectors will be able to create topics during runtime with custom topic-specific properties, in ways beyond what automatic topic creation could allow, a nice new feature would be to also keep track which topics are actually used per connector, after such a connector is created.

This information could be exposed by extending the Connect REST API to add a topics endpoint under the connector endpoint (similar to the status or config endpoints).
