September 2025, ydb-platform/ydb – Monthly Summary Key features delivered: - Autopartitioning of mirrored topics: introduced and documented an autopartitioning approach with a clear comparison between the target topic and the remote source, enabling more reliable replication and load distribution. (Commit f76150fb09a1958b06470698b54c0c75efa9d271) - Stress test: enable topic compactification by key in the stress test suite to validate behavior under high load. (Commit 609221ff5a70dc2069929a18adab029e9dbed46a) - Read topic by timestamp: unittest updated to support reading topics by timestamp, improving test coverage for time-bounded reads. (Commit 9bd3d3cf573b46a034257ac97573fca825ea6045) - ReadProxy optimization: filter parts by ReadTimestamp to optimize reads and reduce unnecessary data processing. (Commit 8580df804870dbec355f97ae173812cac8ee6252) - ydb_cli improvement: add an option to specify memory usage limit for topic workload scenarios, with adjusted defaults for efficiency. (Commit 03eb8ad5bbbec1b200156c2ee6f11bd5d1fdf4fa) Major bugs fixed: - Testlib: CreateTopic should wait for any version greater than the previous one, eliminating a regression in topic creation waiting semantics. (Commit 0169d9d6963d7db678615705739cd5638276646c) - TopicSdkTestSetup: fix CreateTopic waiting for the different topic, preventing flaky tests when topics differ.
