If a valid broker in the cluster has no partitions, it will return None rather than an empty set.

This was surprising behavior to me, I expected a broker that exists but has no partitions would return an empty set. So I'm not sure if it's better to document the current behavior, or change this to get(broker_id, set()).

Similarly documented a few other methods that sometimes can return None.

This is where the None comes from if a broker exists but has no partitions. Alternatively, could instead change this to get(broker_id, set()), although this would make non-existent brokers return an empty set rather than None.
