How about making ```Fetcher#fetchedRecords``` update metadata only if records is not empty? In other words, the [Fetcher.java#L643](https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/trunk/clients/src/main/java/org/apache/kafka/clients/consumer/internals/Fetcher.java#L643) can be moved to [Fetcher.java#L659](https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/trunk/clients/src/main/java/org/apache/kafka/clients/consumer/internals/Fetcher.java#L659). The ```FetchedRecords``` having no records always gets discarded. Hence, we don't need to set metadata of ```FetchedRecords``` when records is empty. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
