-----------------------------------

             Summary: KafkaConsumer.partitionsFor should never return null
                 Key: KAFKA-2358
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2358
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 0.8.3
            Reporter: Stevo Slavic
            Priority: Minor


{{KafkaConsumer.partitionsFor}} method by it's signature returns a 
{{List<PartitionInfo>}}. Problem is that in case (metadata for) topic does not 
exist, current implementation will return null, which is considered a bad 
practice - instead of null it should return empty list.
