Can we specify a pattern for topics in kafka hdfs connect .

Question

KafkaConsumer supports both a list of topics or a pattern when subscribing.
Can we do the same thing with hdfs connect?

I cannot find any configuration related to that in the documentation.

Looks like topic patterns is a feature which was pulled in Nov 2017, you can see the original ticket here and the wiki here. From what I can tell you have to use the topics.regex property instead of topics.
