title: TimeoutException: Timeout expired while fetching topic metadata Kafka
body: <p>I have been trying to deploy Kafka with schema registry locally using Kubernetes. However, the logs of the schema registry pod show this error message:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ERROR Server died unexpectedly:  (io.confluent.kafka.schemaregistry.rest.SchemaRegistryMain:51)
  org.apache.kafka.common.errors.TimeoutException: Timeout expired while fetching topic metadata
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What could be the reason of this behavior?
  '
  In order to run Kubernetes locally, I user Minikube version  v0.32.0 with Kubernetes version v1.13.0</p>
  
  <p>My Kafka configuration:</p>
