Support for adding arbitrary message separators when reading from Kafka.
Why it matters
This feature allows users to specify custom message separators when ingesting data from Kafka, enabling better handling of message boundaries and improving compatibility with diverse Kafka message formats.
How to use it
Users can configure the Kafka table engine to recognize custom separators by specifying the separator parameter in the Kafka source settings. This allows ClickHouse to correctly parse and split messages according to the defined separator.
