Research direction

Start by reading README.md and the retain feature PR #581 to understand the existing retain support and its documented behavior. Update README.md to mention retain support, relevant caveats, and brief behavior notes, including retained messages being lost on standalone cluster restart.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Is your enhancement request related to a problem? Please describe.
Retain semantics were added, however I think it would be useful to mention the support for this and any of the caveats related to this feature. One of the listed caveats is that standalone clusters hold retained messages in memory and they are lost on restart. This might be worth putting into the README.md. This is the PR for the features(#581).

Describe the solution you'd like
Add mention of the retain support in MOP, and also mention any known caveats and maybe brief notes on behavior in the README
