KafkaConsumer node support for topic pattern / wildcard

We are evaluating the ACE 11 Kafka consumer nodes to connect our internal Kafka broker and we are finding technical limitation with the Topic name. Basically we would like to have the feature where one Kafka Consumer node can subscribe to multiple topic strings with pattern support. For instance, we would like to specify a KafkaConsumer node with topic name “customer.*” whereby it gets subscribed for all the topics names starting with "customer".

Currently the node accepts only one topic name without the pattern support. The Apache consumer class talks about the pattern support, but the ACE Kafka Consumer node is limited to just one topic string.

Could you please enable this feature for us?

    RFE Review. Thank you for taking the time to submit this idea for enhancement, which we agree would improve the product. Currently, you could use multiple KafkaConsumer message flow nodes wired into the same message flow, each with different Topic properties, but we acknowledge that full wild-carding support might be more convenient for some use cases. To reflect our approval of the idea, the status of the RFE is updated to Uncommitted Candidate.
