Another source of flakiness we found in the NamedTopologyIntegrationTest was an ocasional MissingSourceTopicException that was causing the application to shut down. We created all source topics ahead of time in the tests, leading us to discover this [race condition](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-13543) in the consumer client which can lead to spurious MissingSourceTopicExceptions when the metadata hasn't finished updating after a change in the consumer's subscription. In addition to finding a workaround for this bug, throwing this MissingSourceTopicException and shutting down the entire app is itself a bug in the NamedTopology feature -- we should not stop all clients and prevent any further processing of the completely valid topologies just because one (or more) topologies were added that are missing their source topics. We can just remove those topologies from the assignment for the time being, and wait until the metadata has finished updating or the user has created the input topics to start assigning tasks from them. So, this PR does two things: a) Avoid throwing a MissingSourceTopicException inside the #assign method when named topologies are used, and just remove those topologies which are missing any of their input topics from the assignment. b) Trigger the uncaught exception handler with a MissingSourceTopicException for each of the topologies that are missing topics, but don't shut down the thread -- we just want to make sure this issue is made visible to the user. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
