Hi All, I made an update to the KIP. Just in short: Currently KafkaAdminClient.describeTopics() and KafkaAdminClient.listTopics() uses the Metadata protocol to acquire topic information. The returned response however won't contain the topics that are under deletion but couldn't complete yet (for instance because of some replicas offline), therefore it is not possible to implement the current command's "marked for deletion" feature. To get around this I introduced some changes in the Metadata protocol.
