--------------------------------
Summary: Allow regex subscriptions in the new consumer
Key: KAFKA-1893
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1893
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Sub-task
Reporter: Jay Kreps
The consumer needs to handle subscribing to regular expressions. Presumably
this would be done as a new api,
{code}
void subscribe(java.util.regex.Pattern pattern);
{code}
Some questions/thoughts to work out:
- It should not be possible to mix pattern subscription with partition
subscription.
- Is it allowable to mix this with normal topic subscriptions? Logically this
is okay but a bit complex to implement.
- We need to ensure we regularly update the metadata and recheck our regexes
against the metadata to update subscriptions for new topics that are created or
old topics that are deleted.
