> By default, the consumer refreshes metadata every 5 minutes. In testing, it
> can often happen that a topic is created at about the same time that the
> consumer is started. In the worst case, creation finishes after the consumer
> fetches metadata, and the test must wait 5 minutes for the consumer to
> refresh metadata in order to discover the topic. To address this problem,
> users can decrease the metadata refresh interval, but this means more
> frequent refreshes even after all topics are known. An improvement would be
> to internally let the consumer fetch metadata more frequently when the
> consumer encounters unknown topics. Perhaps every 5-10 seconds would be
> reasonable, for example.
