Description

From Libo Yu:

I tried to run kafka-preferred-replica-election.sh on our kafka cluster.
But I got this expection:
Failed to start preferred replica election
org.I0Itec.zkclient.exception.ZkNoNodeException: org.apache.zookeeper.KeeperException$NoNodeException: KeeperErrorCode = NoNode for /brokers/topics/uattoqaaa.default/partitions

I checked zookeeper and there is no /brokers/topics/uattoqaaa.default/partitions. All I found is
/brokers/topics/uattoqaaa.default.
