Since DescribeTopics is just handled via a Metadata request behind the
scene, it is possible that if the request is sent to some brokers with
stale metadata (not yet received the metadata update request). But I would
not expect it to "always" return the deleted topic partition, unless the
broker being queried is partitioned from the controller and hence would
never receive the metadata update request.
