Research direction

Search the repository for RocksDBConsumeQueueOffsetTable, lmqCounter, topicQueueMaxCqOffset, and removeHeapMaxCqOffset to trace the non-existent LMQ path. Add or update a regression test covering creation, deletion, and counter behavior for an LMQ represented by -1L; done means deleting it no longer underflows lmqCounter.

Describe the Bug

We previously implemented an LMQ counting mechanism and have now discovered an unexpected counter underflow issue in RocksDBConsumeQueueOffsetTable.

Steps to Reproduce

When specific get* operation is called for a non-existent LMQ topic, a sentinel value -1L is placed into topicQueueMaxCqOffset without incrementing lmqCounter. However, if this topic is later deleted, removeHeapMaxCqOffset unconditionally decrements lmqCounter, causing the counter to underflow.

What Did You Expect to See?

lmqCounter should not be decremented for entries that were never actually counted.
