Fixed Issues in Streams Replication Manager

Review the list of Streams Replication Manager issues that are resolved in Cloudera Runtime 7.1.8.

OPSAPS-61278: The SRM Client’s secure storage fails to generate correctly in FIPS-enabled clusters: In a FIPS enabled cluster, the SRM Client’s secure storage is now correctly generated. The automatically generated configuration used by the srm-control tool no longer contains unresolvable references. SRM secure storage can be used in FIPS enabled clusters without additional configuration.
CDPD-31745: SRM Control fails to configure internal topic when target is earlier than Kafka 2.3: SRM now creates all internal topics explicitly. SRM also verifies the essential configurations of internal topics at startup, and fails if the topic does not meet the required configurations.
OPSAPS-60823: Configuring the SRM Client's secure storage is mandatory for unsecured environments: The srm-control tool no longer fails to run in an unsecured cluster. Unnecessary additional configs have been removed from the srm-control tool's configuration when it is used in an unsecured cluster.
OPSAPS-61001: Saving configuration changes for SRM is not possible: The SRM Client's Secure Storage Password property is no longer a mandatory property.
CDPD-14019: SRM may automatically re-create deleted topics on source clusters: Deleted topics are no longer automatically re-created on source clusters.
OPSAPS-61814: Using the service dependency method to define Kerberos enabled co-located clusters is not supported: When the Streams Replication Manager Co-located Kafka Cluster Alias configuration is used to auto-configure the connection to the co-located Kafka cluster, and Kerberos is enabled, the JAAS configuration is dynamically generated on each host. As a result, you can now use the service dependency method to define a Kerberos enabled co-located cluster.
OPSAPS-63992: Rolling restart unavailable for SRM: Streams Replication Manager rolling restart support is added to Cloudera Manager, Streams Replication Manager can be restarted and upgraded without losing service availability.
OPSAPS-62546: Kafka External Account SSL keypassword configuration is used incorrectly by SRM: SRM uses the correct ssl.keystore.key configuration when a Kafka External Account specifies the keystore.
