Jason Gustafson commented on KAFKA-3358: ---------------------------------------- I can confirm Phil Luckhurst's investigation. This issue with the metadata storm should go away automatically with the changes to the topic metadata request, but it can also be fixed more simply with the following patch: https://github.com/hachikuji/kafka/commit/428a973c36434f06282900209f1ea29a1343704e. This change seems to make sense on its own, so perhaps it makes sense to merge it in addition to the KIP-4 changes.
