Support import of existing buckets

[bakito]

Summary

As Cluster Admin
I want a feature
So that I can import existing buckets(resources) into a crossplane resource

Context

According to crossplane documentation it should be possible to import existing resources. https://docs.crossplane.io/latest/guides/import-existing-resources/

When creating a bucket with the required annotation crossplane.io/external-name currently the bucket fails to sync with the error ``

Bucket spec:

apiVersion: minio.crossplane.io/v1
kind: Bucket
metadata:
  annotations:
    crossplane.io/external-name: bucket-local-dev
  name: bucket-local-dev
spec:
  deletionPolicy: Delete
  forProvider: {}
  managementPolicies:
    - '*'
  providerConfigRef:
    name: provider-config

Error Message: "observe failed: bucket already exists, try changing bucket name: bucket-local-dev"

Versions:

• crossplane: 1.16.0
• provider-minio: v0.4.0
• k8s: 1.29

Is there any way to do this with the current version or does this require effort to implement to the operator?

While the provider does not appear to support importing at present, on version 0.4.4 I was able to get existing buckets imported and to proceed to the synced state by manually editing the Bucket resource to add the annotation minio.crossplane.io/lock: claimed. But they won't have the crossplane.io/external-create-succeeded and crossplane.io/external-create-pending annotations; not sure if that will turn out to be a problem.
