Description

Migrated from [DBZ-9185](https://issues.redhat.com/browse/DBZ-9185)

'- [Enhancement request] Enable autoRestart in the KafkaConnector YAML example
-- When running Debezium with the KafkaConnector on OpenShift, there are cases where Debezium tasks may remain stopped due to some error, and our technical support engineers occasionally receive high-priority inquiries  regarding how to handle such situations.
-- The KafkaConnector includes an autoRestart setting(1) that automatically restarts tasks if they stop for any reason. I believe this setting should be enabled in many cases to improve Debezium availability. Should we add an example of enabling this setting in the documentation for Debezium running on OpenShift?
-- If the autoRestart setting(1) is not appropriate, please feel free to reject this ticket.
-- (1)  Chapter 135. AutoRestart schema reference

Research direction

Locate the OpenShift KafkaConnector YAML example in the Debezium documentation and review the linked AutoRestart schema reference first. Update the example to show the autoRestart setting, and consider the work complete when the documented configuration is valid and clearly demonstrates enabling task restarts.
