This is a known bug in Kafka 0.7.x. Basically, for a new topic, we bootstrap using all existing brokers. However, if a topic already exists on some brokers, we never bootstrap again, which means new brokers will be ignored. For now, you have to manually create the topic on the new brokers (e.g., by sending some data to the new broker directly).
