As per the comment I added:
KafkaSinkSingle is designed solely for the use case of running a shotover instance on the same machine as each kafka instance.
I cannot think of a valid configuration where the destination host is set to a value other than the private ip of the machine.
It could technically be set to
localhost
but AFAIK that doesnt offer any advantages over just using the private ip.Is there a case i'm missing?
So given this, allowing the user to set the full address is just a footgun so we should remove this config instead only allowing the user to set the port.
