Hi, thanks for this badly needed feature

1) Why introduce two new APIs in authorizer instead of replacing the
implementation for simple ACL authorizer with adding the wildcard
capability?

2) is there an impact to performance as now we're evaluating more rules ? A
while back I had evaluated the concept of cached Acl result so swallow the
cost of computing an authorisation cost once and then doing in memory
lookups. CF: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-5261

3) is there any need to also extend this to consumer group resources ?

4) create topics KIP as recently moved permissions out of Cluster into
Topic. Will wildcard be supported for this action too?

Thanks a lot for this !
