Ewen Cheslack-Postava commented on KAFKA-3073:
----------------------------------------------
We actually already ended up with some uses of Pattern for configs in
transformations. IIRC, I raised this point when we were discussing those but
not promising full Pattern support and instead just guaranteeing common regex
functionality is a reasonable tradeoff. 99% of the time people will just be
using very basic functionality anyway.
> 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'.
