CDPD-22089: SRM does not sync re-created source topics until the offsets have caught up with target topic

Messages written to topics that were deleted and re-created are not replicated until the source topic reaches the same offset as the target topic. For example, if at the time of deletion and re-creation there are a 100 messages on the source and target clusters, new messages will only get replicated once the re-created source topic has 100 messages. This leads to messages being lost.

CDPD-11079: Blacklisted topics appear in the list of replicated topics

If a topic was originally replicated but was later disallowed (blacklisted), it will still appear as a replicated topic under the /remote-topics REST API endpoint. As a result, if a call is made to this endpoint, the disallowed topic will be included in the response. Additionally, the disallowed topic will also be visible in the SMM UI. However, it's Partitions and Consumer Groups will be 0, its Throughput, Replication Latency and Checkpoint Latency will show N/A.

CDPD-30275: SRM may automatically re-create deleted topics on target clusters

If auto.create.topics.enable is enabled, deleted topics might get automatically re-created on target clusters. This is a timing issue. It only occurs if remote topics are deleted while the replication of the topic is still ongoing.

1. Remove the topic from the topic allowlist with srm-control. For example:

   srm-control topics --source [SOURCE_CLUSTER] --target [TARGET_CLUSTER] --remove [TOPIC1]

2. Wait until SRM is no longer replicating the topic.
3. Delete the remote topic in the target cluster.
