-------------------------------
With the latest build, ConsoleConsumer complains `Error while fetching metadata
with correlation {inexistentTopic =UNKNOWN_TOPIC_OR_PARTITION}` for your case.
Is that what you want?
> kafka-console-consumer.sh waits on inexistent topic

> Key: KAFKA-7291
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-7291
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: consumer
> Affects Versions: 0.8.2.2
> Reporter: HUSLEAG Dumitru
> Priority: Major
>
> Hello,
> My request concerns kafka-console-consumer.sh behavior (which I suppose is
> based on KafkaConsumer).
> If I try to consume from a topic that does not exist it connects and waits as
> if it existed, which I find is illogical.
> The broker does not have enabled *{{auto.create.topics.enable}}*
> {{Let's say I launch this command:}}
> {code}
> ./kafka-console-consumer.sh --zookeeper $(hostname):2181/kafka --topic
> inexistentTopic
> {code}
> and inexistentTopic does not exist indeed, then the kafka-console-consumer.sh
> will wait forever instead of exit with error code and display an error
> message saying that the topic does not exist.
> Anyway that's the way I would expect it to behave in this case.
> Please consider this request.
> Regards,
> Dumitru
