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. > Root cause is that the Cluster collection returning methods are returning > null. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
