consumer.subscribe(Pattern p , ..) method fails with Authorizer

[Manikumar Reddy]

Hi,

consumer.subscribe(Pattern p , ..) method implementation tries to get
metadata of all the topics.
This will throw TopicAuthorizationException on internal topics and other
unauthorized topics.
We may need to move the pattern matching to sever side.
Is this know issue?.  If not, I will raise JIRA.

logs:
[2016-07-07 22:48:06,317] WARN Error while fetching metadata with
correlation id 1 : {__consumer_offsets=TOPIC_AUTHORIZATION_FAILED}
(org.apache.kafka.clients.NetworkClient)

Thanks,
Manikumar
