dhagrow opened a new issue #6019: Multiple topics consumer not able to receive the earliest message (python client) URL: https://github.com/apache/pulsar/issues/6019 **Describe the bug** When using multiple topics with the Python client and `initial_position=Earliest`, new subscriptions still begin with the *latest* message. Related: #3494, #3712. **To Reproduce** Code for consumer: ``` rx = re.compile('persistent://public/default/topic-.*') sub = pulsar_client.subscribe(rx, 'sub', pulsar.ConsumerType.Shared, initial_position=pulsar.InitialPosition.Earliest) ``` When a new topic is created, it is auto-discovered, as expected. However, all messages sent from the creation of the topic, until the subscription is made, are lost. **Expected behavior** When using `initial_position=Earliest` with a topic pattern, all new topic subscriptions should begin with the earliest message.
