Review Comment:
   > Can you please provide me example when this will be used i.e. scenario?
   
   This is used in the fallback path of `compileLenient`. We first try to 
compile the pattern using RE2, if it does not succeed we try using the existing 
library. If it succeeds, we log a warning. `compileLenient` gets called in two 
flows:
   
   1. When a config is altered and the change is propagated to the brokers, all 
brokers call it when updating their subscriptions.
   2. When a broker rebuilds its state using the metadata log (for eg. during 
startup).
