Also note that the metadata for the topic is missing. I tried creating few more topics and all have the same issue.
Using the Kafka console producer on the topic, I see these error messages indicating the missing metadata: WARN Error while fetching metadata [{TopicMetadata for topic my-topic -> No partition metadata for topic my-topic due to kafka.common.UnknownException}] for topic [my-topic]: class kafka.common.UnknownException (kafka.producer.BrokerPartitionInfo)
