>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-5992
>             Project: Kafka
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 0.11.0.1
>            Reporter: Stephane Maarek
>
> When invoking a describeTopics operation on a topic that does not exist, we get an InvalidTopicException as a RuntimeException.
> I believe this should be documented, and the API maybe changed:
> For example changing:
> {code:java}
>     public DescribeTopicsResult describeTopics(Collection<String> topicNames) {
> {code}
> To:
> {code:java}
>     public DescribeTopicsResult describeTopics(Collection<String> topicNames) throws InvalidTopicException 
> {code}
> Additionally, in case multiple topics don't exist, only the first one will throw an error. This is really not scalable. 
> Maybe the DescribeTopicsResult could have a Boolean "topicExists" ? 
> Up for discussion
