How to set node affinity on build pods for KafkaConnect

[jslusher]

Is there a way to set node affinity on KafkaConnect build pods?

I ran into an issue where the build pod ran on arm64 but I have node affinity set on the connect cluster itself for amd64. Is there a way to guarantee the build pod runs on the same arch as the connect pods?

Also, is there a way to initiate a manual build? If this is something I can't guarantee I want to at least be able to rebuild the pod until it builds on amd64.

I get this on the pod when it tries to start:

exec /opt/kafka/kafka_connect_run.sh: exec format error

You should be able to set it int he buildPod template? In .spec.template.buildPod...: https://strimzi.io/docs/operators/latest/full/configuring.html#type-PodTemplate-reference
