rpk cluster metadata

Request broker metadata.

The Kafka protocol’s metadata contains information about brokers, topics, and the cluster as a whole.

This command only runs if specific sections of metadata are requested. There are currently three sections: the cluster, the list of brokers, and the topics. If no section is specified, this defaults to printing all sections.

If the topic section is requested, all topics are requested by default unless some are manually specified as arguments. Expanded per-partition information can be printed with the -d flag, and internal topics can be printed with the -i flag.

In the broker section, the controller node is suffixed with \*.
