> Cluster collection returning methods should never return null
> -------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-2358
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2358
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 0.9.0.0
> Reporter: Stevo Slavic
> Assignee: Stevo Slavic
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 0.11.0.0
>
>
> {{KafkaConsumer.partitionsFor}} method by it's signature returns a
> {{List<PartitionInfo>}}. Problem is that in case (metadata for) topic does
> not exist, current implementation will return null, which is considered a bad
> practice - instead of null it should return empty list.
> Root cause is that the Cluster collection returning methods are returning
> null.
