RobertIndie opened a new pull request, #1364:
URL: https://github.com/apache/pulsar-client-go/pull/1364

   ### Motivation
   
   The Go client version 0.15.0 introduced a regression bug. If the reader's 
`startMessageId` is set to the latest, it will hang while reading. This issue 
can be reproduced using the new test case: `TestReaderReadFromLatest`.
   
   ### Modifications
   
   The root cause is a change in behavior from before version 0.15.0. 
Previously, the consumer would avoid discarding messages if `startMessageId` 
was set to Latest. This logic was altered in this pull request: 
https://github.com/apache/pulsar-client-go/pull/1340/files#diff-782cf41d23c24657ede53da5d028f05819b302305ed676c61322b4cfba4265e9L1454-L1457
   
   The following logic was removed:
   
   ```go
   // if we start at latest message, we should never discard
   if pc.options.startMessageID != nil && 
pc.options.startMessageID.equal(latestMessageID) {
       return false
   }
   ```
   
   In version 0.15.0, if `startMessageId` is Latest, the reader won't receive 
any messages because all message IDs are before the latest and will be 
discarded. We need to reinstate this check.
   
   For the seek operation, the correct approach is:
   
   - When handling a seek request, the consumer should set the `seekMessageId` 
before reconnecting.
   - After reconnecting, the consumer should check if `seekMessageId` exists. 
If it does, it indicates the consumer is seeking, and `seekMessageId` should be 
set as `startMessageId`. This ensures that even if the reader's 
`startMessageId` is Latest, it won't receive messages before the specified seek 
message ID, maintaining the correct behavior as intended in this 
[PR](https://github.com/apache/pulsar-client-go/pull/1340).
