frankjkelly opened a new issue #9251:
URL: https://github.com/apache/pulsar/issues/9251
**Describe the bug**
When I use `pulsar-client consume` and specify the subscription position
(either using `-p` or `--subscription-position`) as `Earliest` the client still
uses `Latest`
**To Reproduce**
In Pulsar 2.6.1
```
$ ./apache-pulsar-2.6.1/bin/pulsar-client --url
pulsar://platform-pulsar-broker:6650 consume -s consumer4a -p Earliest
persistent://cogito-dialog/stf/retrieve4
