Iterate several kafka topics using the kafka connector

[Sendoh]

Hi Flink developers,

Can I ask how could we iterate several Kafka topics using the Kafka
connector?

Our idea is like the following example:

List<DataStream&lt;JSONObject>> streams = new ArrayList<>();

// Iterate kafka topics
Iterator<String> topicIter = topicList.iterator();

        while (topicIter.hasNext()){

            String topic = topicIter.next();

            streams.add(env.addSource(new FlinkKafkaConsumer09<>(topic,
                    new JSONSchema(), properties)).rebalance());

        }

Our goal is to union several kafka data streams into one, given the topics
as a list:

        Iterator<DataStream&lt;JSONObject>> streamsIt = streams.iterator();

        DataStream<JSONObject> currentStream = streamsIt.next();
        while(streamsIt.hasNext()){
            DataStream<JSONObject> nextStream = streamsIt.next();
            currentStream = currentStream.union(nextStream);
        }

Cheers,

Sendoh
