> The ClientUtils fetches metadata for all topics if the topic set is empty.
> If the topic list of a consumer is empty, the following happens if a
> rebalance is triggered:
> - The fetcher is restarted, fetcher.startConnections() starts a
> LeaderFinderThread
> - LeaderFinderThread waits on a condition
> - fetcher.startConnections() signals the aforementioned condition
> - LeaderFinderThread obtains metadata for all topics since the topic list is
> empty.
