> The list of brokers in the metadata request is never shuffled. Which means
> that if some clients are not using a VIP for metadata requests, the first
> broker ends up servicing most metadata requests, leaving imbalanced load on
> the brokers. This issue is even more pronounced when there are several
> thousand clients talking to a cluster each using a broker list to fetch
> metadata.
