This returned a kafka.api.TopicMetadata object which provided some useful information about the topic. With 0.10.0.0, fetchTopicMetadataFromZk returns org.apache.kafka.common.requests.MetadataResponse.TopicMetadata. This TopicMetadata does not have a toString method, so we get the rather useless version from Object. Does Kafka 0.10 provide some other way to get topic metadata? Chris
