Problem:
Sometimes the timestamp value can be written as an offset in rabbitmq, which freezes message consumption.
Real case: You add a new consumer to an existing stream for which the offset is not yet set. You do not want to reread all messages, so you specify -1 min. If there are no messages for a certain time and automatic flush is triggered, this timestamp value will be written as the offset.
As a summary, based on the code in the library and the stream protocol, it looks like the method
consumer.setCurrentOffset
should only be called with a typeOffset value.
