Hi Mu,
which version of flink are you using? I checked the latest branches for
1.2 - 1.5 to look for findLeaderForPartitions at line 205 in
Kafka08Fetcher but they did not match. From what I can see in the code,
there is a MARKER partition state with topic "n/a" but that is
explicitly removed from the list of partitions to find leaders for in
the code and solely used during cancelling the fetcher.

I don't know whether this is possible, but I suppose there could be more
than one marker and we should call removeAll() instead - @Gordon, can
you elaborate/check whether this could happen?
