Jason Gustafson commented on KAFKA-2961:
----------------------------------------
[~eljefe6a] I agree it's slightly annoying when you're subscribing to a single
topic, but the point of using a list was to suggest that subscribe() is not
additive and each call replaces the previous subscription. It's debatable
whether it achieves that, but I think it might be even less clear if we also
added subscribe(String).
> Add a Single Topic KafkaConsumer Helper Function

> Key: KAFKA-2961
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2961
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: consumer
> Affects Versions: 0.9.0.0
> Reporter: Jesse Anderson
> Assignee: Neha Narkhede
>
> To subscribe to a single topic, you need to write more code than you should:
> consumer.subscribe(Arrays.asList(topic));
> There should be a helper function to pass in a single topic to subscribe on.
> Like this:
> consumer.subscribe(topic);
