…er a backup/restore recreates the online topics https://hopsworks.atlassian.net/browse/FSTORE-2155 OnlineFS resumed each partition of an online topic at the offset saved in the project's kafka_offsets table. Kafka is not part of a backup, so after a restore that rebuilds Kafka, or a manual delete, a topic is recreated under the same name while the saved offsets still belong to the earlier topic, and OnlineFS skipped every record below them. OnlineFS now keeps its offsets in one table per RonDB, onlinefs.kafka_offsets, with the Kafka topic ID each offset was saved for, and reads a partition from its start when its saved offset belongs to an earlier topic of the same name. The chart moves the per-project tables into it before OnlineFS starts, the backend stops creating them and lists a project's offsets, the UI shows them, a loadtest checks them, and the docs cover the upgrade, the offsets card and restores, with a restore note for the earlier releases. This release keeps the offsets in each project's kafka_offsets table, without topic IDs, so the DR page's new cluster restore gets a script, run after the restore and before data is written again, that stops OnlineFS, clears every project's kafka_offsets and starts OnlineFS again. It stops at the first failure and leaves OnlineFS stopped, and prints the replica count for a later run. On a cluster ArgoCD syncs, self-heal is turned off while it runs, since it would scale OnlineFS back up while the offsets are being cleared.

Summary
A new cluster restore brings back the Kafka offsets OnlineFS saved in each project's
kafka_offsetstable, while Kafka starts without the backed-up topics and creates them again on the first write. OnlineFS then resumes each recreated partition at its restored offset and skips the records below it. From 5.3 OnlineFS notices the recreated topic by its ID; this release needs the offsets cleared by hand.kafka_offsetsand starts OnlineFS again, to run after the restore and before data is written again. It stops at the first failure and leaves OnlineFS stopped; it prints the replica count first, and a run after a failure takes it fromREPLICAS.kubectl patchcommands are given), and kept off after a failure until a run has finished, since self-heal would scale OnlineFS back up while its offsets are being cleared.The same note goes to
