> Hi, all. I propose a new functionality of KafkaTableSource which can consume 
> multiple topics at the same time. 
> *Design plan*
>  * Add a new constructor in KafkaTableSource which accepts topics with List 
> type as one parameter.
>  * Modify the existed one which only accepts one topic as string type to call 
> the proposed one to finish the instantiation. That is to say, wrap this topic 
> in a list and pass it to the multi-topics-consuming constructor.
>  * Modify the overridden method createKafkaConsumer in KafkaTableSource to 
> pass topics as List instead of String.
>  * Replace the field topic with topics as List type in  KafkaTableSourceBase 
> and modify every place using topic with topics. So we just need to modify the 
> constructor KafkaTableSourceBase, method getDataStream, and equals and 
> hashCode.
> *Test plan*
> There is less to do as KafkaTableSource is based on FlinkKafkaConsumer which 
> already supports consuming multiple topics and is tested well. Of course, we 
> can easily add further more tests if needed.
>  
> So what's your opinion?
