------------------------------------
If we want to support regex in the protocol, we need a cross-platform solution.
The best option I've seen so far is:

> KafkaConnect should support regular expression for topics

> KafkaConsumer supports both a list of topics or a pattern when subscribing.
> KafkaConnect only supports a list of topics, which is not just more of a
> hassle to configure - it also requires more maintenance.
> I suggest adding topics.pattern as a new configuration and letting users
> choose between 'topics' or 'topics.pattern'.
