Pause connector does not actually pause the tasks

[harishanandan124]

I am trying to pause the connector using the api (i.e. curl -X PUT localhost:8083/connectors/local-file-sink/pause) and I am seeing that the connector is paused but the tasks are not paused,

{"name":"connectorname","connector":{"state":"PAUSED","worker_id":"11.16.170.78:8083"},"tasks":[{"id":0,"state":"RUNNING","worker_id":"11.16.170.78:8083"}],"type":"source"}

is there a workaround for this? We need to pause the connectors as sometimes we would like to undergo maintenance of source or target systems.
