Is there a way to pull out kafka metadata from zookeeper?

[hsy...@gmail.com]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to maintain a bunch of simple kafka consumer to consume messages
from brokers. I know there is a way to send TopicMetadataRequest to broker
and get the response from the broker. But you have to specify the broker
list to query the information. But broker might not be available because of
some failure. My question is is there any api I can call and query broker
metadata for topic/partition directly from zookeeper? I know I can query
that information using zookeeper API. But that's not friendly datastructure
 like the TopicMetadata/PartitionMetadata.  Thank you!

Best,
Siyuan
