 The `CompositeRecordInterceptor` and `CompositeBatchInterceptor` can be used to invoke multiple interceptors.

+Starting with version 4.0, `AbstractKafkaListenerContainerFactory` and `AbstractMessageListenerContainer` exposes `getRecordInterceptor()` and `getBatchInterceptor()` as public methods.
 If the returned interceptor is an instance of `CompositeRecordInterceptor` or `CompositeBatchInterceptor`, additional `RecordInterceptor` or `BatchInterceptor` instances can be added to it even after the container instance extending `AbstractMessageListenerContainer` has been created and a `RecordInterceptor` or `BatchInterceptor` has already been configured.
 The following example shows how to do so:
