Jason Gustafson commented on KAFKA-2961: ---------------------------------------- We previously discussed changing it to setSubscription() or a similar alternative, but I think we preferred subscribe() for its conciseness even though it may not be as suggestive of its semantics as we would have liked. Since the API is already public in 0.9, my preference is probably to keep it as it is since calling Arrays.asList() or Collections.singletonList() seems like only a small annoyance.
