Hi Baodi, There is a similar discussion before: https://lists.apache.org/thread/ryn7pq0ctfd5372ww1gsplkplz2sjc0d
Since the PR is ready to change the behavior, let's discuss again to make more people know. IMO, it's +1 to me if there is no complaint from the community (the replies previous mail list are all +1). To correct one point, after this PR, configuring `StartMessageIDInclusive=true` is still inconsistent with previous behavior. For example, given 2 messages 0 and 1, - Before: start exclusive - Now (StartMessageIDInclusive): start inclusive The behaviors are the same only when you seek to a message ID.
