Description

0.8.0 HEAD from 3/4/2013

Using a SimpleConsumer, connect to a Broker that is NOT the leader for the topic/partition you want to fetch, but IS a replica.

On fetch the error returned is '5' 'ErrorMapping.LeaderNotAvailableCode'

Per email thread with Neha:

"Ideally, you should get back ErrorMapping.NotLeaderForPartitionCode"

Key part of the test is the Broker must be a replica. If the topic/partition is not on the Broker you get a different (correct) error.
