PoAn Yang commented on KAFKA-17578: ----------------------------------- Hi [~jeffkbkim] and [~dajac], there are 200+ references to TopicMetadata. Do we want to fully remove partitionRacks? Or we can create a new TopicMetadata constructor which always set empty to TopicMetadata. And we only need to change production code and related test cases?
