gvolpe opened a new issue, #15189: URL: https://github.com/apache/pulsar/issues/15189
**Describe the bug** I have two consumers connected using a `Failover` subscription to the same topic. I first run one consumer, and after a few minutes, I run the second consumer (no messages are being produced yet). Once both consumers are up, I start publishing messages to the topic. When this happens, **both** consumers get the first message, and from there, only the selected *active consumer* gets the subsequent messages. It looks like a bug to me, but if this is expected, I would appreciate if you could point me out to any kind of documentation in this regard. **To Reproduce** Steps to reproduce the behavior: 1. Create a `persistent` non-partitioned topic. 2. Create two consumers in `Failover` mode and run them. 3. Create a producer and start publishing messages to the topic. 4. See first message being received by both consumers. **Expected behavior** Only the active consumer should get **all** messages. **Desktop (please complete the following information):** - OS: Linux (NixOS) **Additional context** Here are a few things that might be relevant. Pulsar version: `2.10.0` Pulsar Java client: `2.10.0` I have deduplication enabled on my broker configuration: ``` brokerDeduplicationEnabled=true ``` Messages published to the topic have an `orderingKey`, as I have other service running in `KeyShared` subscription mode reading the very same messages. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
