Am I right? This is very important when we are dealing with deleting topics in a pipeline. was (Author: mgharat): [~hachikuji] just wanted to be sure what you meant by leaving the current TopicMetadataRequest unchanged, is that it will not be creating the topic in future.

If no topic was found, we expected an empty response. > However if we asked for the same topic twice, it would exist the second time! > I think this is a bug because the purpose of the TopicMetadaRequest is to > provide information about the cluster, not mutate it. I can provide example > code if needed. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
