Is it possible that one spout subscribes multiple topics from kafka

I have a question that is it possible that one spout subscribes multiple topics from kafka. For an instance, a spout named "test_spout" receives streaming data from two topics in kafka. The yaml file may looks like this:

topology:
    - spout:
        name: kafka_user_raw_data
        type: kafka
        options:
            #module: streaming_topology.user_behavior_spout
            # The Kafka topic to stream from.
            # Required.
            topic:
              - topic1
              - topic2

But it couldn't work. Could you please tell me how to achieve this?

As far as I know it is not possible, but you can have multiple kafka spouts in your topology, and have them all be consumed by the same bolt. Would that do the job?

@mzbyszynski Thank you, I did this with multiple spouts indeed.
