Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The use-case stems from having a topic per tenant. Currently, I'd have to manually create a source configuration per tenant manually.
Describe the solution you'd like
Add support for subscribing to topics via. a regex or wildcard. librdkafka has support for this.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Manually adding sources.
