John Tylwalk updated KAFKA-3624:
--------------------------------
Description:
Have been seeing consistently a NPE when metadata request is sent against a
cluster that isn't online:
{code}
java.lang.NullPointerException: null
at
org.apache.kafka.common.requests.MetadataResponse.<init>(MetadataResponse.java:130)
~[kafka-client-lib.jar:na]
at
org.apache.kafka.clients.consumer.internals.Fetcher.getTopicMetadata(Fetcher.java:203)
~[kafka-client-lib.jar:na]
at
org.apache.kafka.clients.consumer.KafkaConsumer.partitionsFor(KafkaConsumer.java:1143)
~[kafka-client-lib.jar:na]
{code}
Looks like this is from this line:
{code}
Object[] brokerStructs = (Object[]) struct.get(BROKERS_KEY_NAME);
{code}
The returned struct doesn't have the brokers key, since the returned data is
incomplete. Would expect to see a better exception / handling rather than NPE.
