Swapnil Ghike updated KAFKA-1087:
---------------------------------

    Description: 
The ClientUtils fetches metadata for all topics if the topic set is empty. 

If the topic list of a consumer is empty, the following happens if a rebalance 
is triggered:
- The fetcher is restarted, it starts a LeaderFinderThread
- LeaderFinderThread waits on a condition
- fetcher.startConnections() signals the aforementioned condition
- LeaderFinderThread obtains metadata for all topics since the topic list is 
empty.
