    I think Robert was suggesting to log messages only for cases where _some_ 
topics don't have partitions, so that the consumer doesn't just fail if for 
example only 1 out of 10 topics don't have partitions.
    
    If ALL topics failed to return partitions in the end, we probably should 
still fail the consumer, like before.

> As a developer when reading data from many topics, I want Kafka consumer to 
> show something if any topic is not available. The motivation is we read many 
> topics as list at one time, and sometimes we fail to recognize that one or 
> two topics' names have been changed or deprecated, and Flink Kafka connector 
> doesn't show the error.
> My proposed change would be either to throw RuntimeException or to use 
> LOG.error(topic + "doesn't have any partition") if partitionsForTopic is null 
> at this function.

> Any suggestion is welcome.
