Another question: is your consumer disconnecting and reconnecting, or stopping and starting (and then connecting with the same client ID)? If the former, I'm wondering if the client is telling the broker it already has those messages when it reconnects so nothing gets sent. That's pure speculation on my part, but worth testing if the behavior is different after a client restart. On Mar 1, 2015 2:27 PM, "Peter Hicks" <peter.hi...@poggs.co.uk> wrote:
