Hi folks, I was wondering in which cases the PartitionMetadata section of a MetadataResponse [1] can contain useful information?
I had been working under the assumption that when the PartitionErrorCode was 0 (NoError) then the rest of the data would be legitimate, and that when the error was non-0 then the rest of the data would be blank/empty/etc. However, I recently discovered a JIRA ticket [2] which suggests otherwise, namely that there are certain error codes for which parts of the remainder of the metadata may still be filled in. I have not found any explicit documentation for which error codes this is true. Does anybody know? Thanks, Evan P.S. I'm not 100% sure if this kind of question should go on users@ or dev@. Please let me know if I'm in the wrong place.
