> 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'.
