Description

Sending a DescribeConfigsRequest with a ConfigResource(TOPIC, "non-existent-topic") returns a fully populated ConfigResource back in the response with 24 configuration entries.

A resource-level error_code of UnknownTopic.. would be expected instead.

 

[0081_admin / 1.143s] ConfigResource #0: type TOPIC (2), "rdkafkatest_rnd3df408bf5d94d696_DescribeConfigs_notexist": 24 ConfigEntries, error NO_ERROR ()
[0081_admin / 1.144s] #0/24: Source UNKNOWN (5): "compression.type"="producer" [is read-only=n, default=n, sensitive=n, synonym=n] with 1 synonym(s)
....

But the topic does not exist:

$ $KAFKA_PATH/bin/kafka-topics.sh --zookeeper $ZK_ADDRESS --list | grep rdkafkatest_rnd3df408bf5d94d696_DescribeConfigs_notexist ; echo $?
