Hi,
When supplying a partition that doesn't exist in a topic such as partition
4 when calling $producer->send() and there are only partitions 0 - 3 the
error message returned does not allow the client programmer to determine
the cause, all that is returned is this line below:
: topic = '<topic>'
This doesn't allow much in the way of debugging, can this be changed?
Luckily I'm causing this intentionally to test error handling in my program
so I know I'm causing it by changing a single input to supply a partition
number that is too high.
The exact same happens if supplying a character instead of a number.
I think the error handling should first check the partition is a positive
integer else error specifically that partition must be a positive integer,
and then check if the partition isn't valid to raise that specific error
about no such partition in that topic to be helpful to client programmers?
