             Summary: New producer metadata update always get all topics.
                 Key: KAFKA-2042
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2042
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Jiangjie Qin


The new java producer metadata.topics is initially empty so the producer sends 
TMR with empty topic set. The broker takes the empty requested topic set as all 
topics, so metadata.cluster contains all topic metadata. Later on, when a new 
topic was produced, it gets added into the metadata.topics. The next metadata 
update will only contain the meta data for this new topic, so the 
metadata.cluster will only have this topic. Since there are a lot of messages 
are still in the accumulator but has no metadata in metadata.cluster, if a 
caller thread do a flush(), the caller thread will block forever because the 
messages sitting in accumulator without metadata will never be ready to send.
We should add check for the metadata.topics, if it is empty, no TMR should be 
sent.
