Colin P. McCabe commented on KAFKA-5374:
----------------------------------------
This was introduced by KAFKA-5291. The issue here is that the internal
metadata requests being made by AdminClient were using
{{allowAutoCreateTopics=false}}, which did not work with brokers older than
0.11.
Unfortunately, NetworkClient doesn't handle this failure case well, and the
failed internal metadata request responses were being returned back from the
{{NetworkClient#poll}} call. This caused the puzzling error message, since
they had not been explicitly made by the {{AdminClient}}.
Since we are just making MetadataRequests for zero topics, there is no point in
setting allowAutoCreateTopics=false anyway. So I just set it to true in this
patch. I added a system test to the patch that will test a cross-version
AdminClient call. In the future, we should probably look into handling
UnsupportedVersionException and other errors better in the internal metadata
request code, but that's a bigger patch.
