> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.4.0, 2.3.1

>
> The kafka-topics.sh utility gives a confusing message when the topic it is
> called with doesn't exist or when no topics exist at all:
> {code}
> bin/kafka-topics.sh --zookeeper localhost:2181 --describe --topic xxx
> Error while executing topic command : Topics in [] does not exist
> [2019-03-06 13:26:33,982] ERROR java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Topics in
> [] does not exist
> at
> kafka.admin.TopicCommand$.kafka$admin$TopicCommand$$ensureTopicExists(TopicCommand.scala:416)
> at
> kafka.admin.TopicCommand$ZookeeperTopicService.describeTopic(TopicCommand.scala:332)
> at kafka.admin.TopicCommand$.main(TopicCommand.scala:66)
> at kafka.admin.TopicCommand.main(TopicCommand.scala)
> (kafka.admin.TopicCommand$)
> {code}
> It tries to list the topics, but because list of topics is always empty, it
> always prints just `[]`. The error message should be more useful and instead
> list the topic passed by the user as the parameter or not try to list
> anything at all.
