["Mayuresh Gharat (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2887?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15063131#comment-15063131 ] 

Mayuresh Gharat commented on KAFKA-2887:
----------------------------------------

[~hachikuji] just wanted to be sure what you meant by leaving the current TopicMetadataRequest unchanged, is that it will not be creating the topic in future. Am I right?
This is very important when we are dealing with deleting topics in a pipeline.

>             Project: Kafka
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: clients
>    Affects Versions: 0.8.2.0
>         Environment: Centos6, Java 1.7.0_75
>            Reporter: Andrew Winterman
>            Priority: Minor

> We wired up a probe http endpoint to make TopicMetadataRequests with a possible topic name. If no topic was found, we expected an empty response. However if we asked for the same topic twice, it would exist the second time!
> I think this is a bug because the purpose of the TopicMetadaRequest is to provide  information about the cluster, not mutate it. I can provide example code if needed.
