I have a http sink connector running in kubernetes. Its making requests to a rest service. The amount of messages consumed and sent to the topic seems low. Is there any metric which the connector publishes which gives the request latency?

Does anyone have any experience improving the throughput of an http sink connector? Any suggestions?

we have tried increasing pod counts to match partition counts
