Jun Rao commented on KAFKA-1535:
--------------------------------
A solution is to return all live brokers (in metadata cache) in
TopicMetadataResponse. This doesn't change the wire protocol, just the list of
brokers returned.

> Currently, we only return the brokers that have assigned replicas for a topic
> in TopicMetadataResponse. The new producer will use those brokers for
> refreshing metadata. Now suppose that we stop all those brokers, copy all
> local data to some new hosts and then restart those hosts (with the original
> broker id). There is no way for the new producer to automatically get the
> information about the new brokers since all old brokers are gone.
