Thanks, Jun.  Sorry-- I meant to address this earlier, but I forgot about it.  
I just added some proposed metrics to the KIP wiki.

Perhaps if we use max_bytes -1 to represent removal, it will be more intuitive? 
 After all, -1 bytes is clearly not a valid amount of bytes to fetch.  Or 
should be have a separate array of removed TopicPartitions?

On a related note, in the FetchResponse#PartitionData, we have an "error" 
field, plus highWatermark, lastStableOffset, logStartOffset, etc.  But when the 
"error" field is set, those other fields are not used.  Perhaps we could save 
some space by just having a separate array of "partitions with errors."  In the 
common case where there are no errors, this would save 2 bytes per partition, 
which could be quite significant in large responses.

best,
Colin
