[jira] [Commented] (KAFKA-4164) Kafka produces excessive logs when publishing message to non-existent topic

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4164?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15495450#comment-15495450 ] 

Manikumar Reddy commented on KAFKA-4164:
----------------------------------------

This is a valid concern. Currently metadata TimeoutException does't include underlying cause (UNKNOWN_TOPIC_OR_PARTITION, LEADER_NOT_AVAILABLE) etc. 
It may be tricky to add this, since wait and metadata fetch are running in different threads.

> When a message is published to a topic which is not already created(and auto.create.topics.enable is set to false), Kafka produces excessive WARN logs stating that metadata could not be fetched. Below are the logs

> The error is not communicated to the caller so if these logs are suppressed by setting Kafka log level to ERROR, there is no way to debug the issue. It would be helpful if the error message( for example {ATLAS_HOOK=UNKNOWN_TOPIC_OR_PARTITION}) can be communicated to the caller.
