candlerb opened a new issue #5541: Python API: seek(eventtime) URL: https://github.com/apache/pulsar/issues/5541 **Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.** Feature-parity between APIs: Java has [`seek(messageId)`](https://github.com/apache/pulsar/blob/master/pulsar-client-api/src/main/java/org/apache/pulsar/client/api/Consumer.java#L319) and [`seek(timestamp)`](https://github.com/apache/pulsar/blob/master/pulsar-client-api/src/main/java/org/apache/pulsar/client/api/Consumer.java#L327), but Python has only [`seek(messageId)`](https://pulsar.apache.org/api/python/#pulsar.Consumer.seek). **Describe the solution you'd like** Add a new method to seek by timestamp **Describe alternatives you've considered** A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered. **Additional context** Relates to #5537. If there were a way to query a topic for the messageId at a given eventtime, then it could be used instead of this. (However, that might involve consumer talking to the REST API instead of just using the client protocol)
