Can I know how can we know if the data is present on a topic ? Will the data remain on the topic until next data is published on that topic ?

I would like to realize an action and reaction pair. Action being publishing data on topic A and reaction being publishing data on topic B, this is supposed to happen within a certain interval.

Oh thank you, I hadn't seen about latch before.
