Is it possible that an existent topic has no partitions? If so, returning empty list may confuse users who querying nonexistent topic. Maybe we should throw ```UnknownTopicOrPartitionException``` for nonexistent topic and return empty list for existent topic. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
