Support for mulitiple kafka topics by regexp

[th0ger]

Summary

Some kafka clients allows regexp patterns for the topic name to consume from multiple topics.

Is this possible with the sarama client? Or can this be supported?

Here from the Confluent kafka python Consumer:

subscribe(topics[, on_assign=None][, on_revoke=None][, on_lost=None]) Set subscription to supplied list of topics. (...) Regexp pattern subscriptions are supported by prefixing the topic string with "^", e.g.: consumer.subscribe(["^my_topic.*", "^another[0-9]-?[a-z]+$", "not_a_regex"])

Parameters topics (list(str)) – List of topics (strings) to subscribe to. (...)
