Description

After reading the protocol guide (https://cwiki.apache.org/KAFKA/a-guide-to-the-kafka-protocol.html), I was under the impression that the Produce API was sending a response even when requiredAcks = 0 (immediately after receiving the request). However, after some tests, I realized that no response is sent in that case. The protocol documentation should specify clearly that behavior.
