Background
There is currently no prebuilt Iceberg connector for Kafka Connect provided with Iceberg. This can make it more difficult than necessary for users who just want to build pipelines, not run
gradle:)Confluent Marketplace (previously "Confluent Hub") is a long-established platform for the distribution of connectors for Kafka Connect, both open-source and proprietary.
At the moment the 1.9.2 version of the connector has been uploaded to the site by Confluent staff as an ad-hoc process.
There are several existing issues from the community regarding: #10745 #14986 #12516
This PR
This PR adds a script to build and package the Iceberg connector for Kafka Connect into the required format for submission to Confluent for inclusion on the Marketplace.
My suggestion would be that as part of the Iceberg release process, release managers use this script and submit the generated archive to Confluent (confluent-hub@confluent.io).
Confluent can then verify the authenticity of the submission by checking the detached GPG signature against the Iceberg
