--------------------------------------
I don't have the Jira access to assign myself but I've just opened a PR for
this.
> AbstractConfig.getList() should never return null

> Key: KAFKA-6180
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-6180
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: config
> Affects Versions: 0.10.1.0, 0.10.1.1, 0.10.2.0, 0.10.2.1, 0.11.0.0, 1.0.0
> Reporter: Charly Molter
> Priority: Trivial
>
> AbstractConfig.getList returns null if the property is unset and there's no
> default.
> This creates a lot of cases where we need to do null checks (and remember
> them).
> It's good practice to just return an empty list as usually code naturally
> handles empty lists.
