Description

With a totally fresh Kafka (empty logs dir and empty ZK), if I send a ProduceRequest for a new topic, Kafka responds with "kafka.common.UnknownTopicOrPartitionException: Topic test partition 0 doesn't exist on 0". This is when sending a ProduceRequest over the network (from Python, in this case).

If I use the console producer it works fine (topic and partition get created). If I then send the same payload from before over the network, it works.
