             Summary: Resolve regex on client side when using java regex in new 
consumer 
                 Key: KAFKA-15538
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-15538
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: clients, consumer
            Reporter: Lianet Magrans


We need to resolve a java Pattern regex on the client side to send the broker a 
list of topic names to subscribe to.

Context:

The new consumer group protocol uses [Google 
RE2/J|https://github.com/google/re2j] for regular expressions and introduces 
new methods in the consumer API to subscribe using a `SubscribePattern`. The 
subscribe using a java `Pattern` will be still supported for a while but 
eventually removed.
 * When the subscribe with SubscriptionPattern is used, the client should just 
send the regex to the broker and it will be resolved on the server side.
 * In the case of the subscribe with Pattern, the regex should be resolved on 
the client side.
