OCI Streaming: how to to Process Messages from Stream with 'Invalid Sequence Number' scenarios

oci streaming python Python

After trying multiple solutions online, I still can't figure this out. I'm currently working on a project where I need to consume messages from an OCI streaming service using the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure SDK for Python. I've set up the stream and am able to produce messages without any issues. However, when I try to consume messages using the `read_messages` method, I encounter an 'Invalid Sequence Number' behavior. Here's a snippet of how I'm consuming messages: ```python import oci config = oci.config.from_file() # Loading configuration stream_client = oci.streaming.StreamClient(config) stream_id = 'ocid1.stream.oc1..example_unique_id' try: response = stream_client.get_messages(stream_id, 0, limit=5) for message in response.data: print(message.value) except oci.exceptions.ServiceError as e: print(f'behavior: {e}') # Outputs 'Invalid Sequence Number' ``` I checked the sequence number being used, and it seems correct according to the documentation. I've verified that the stream is active and the messages are being produced correctly. Additionally, I noticed that I might be trying to read messages from an offset that doesn’t correspond to the actual sequence number of produced messages. I also tried resetting the offset back to zero, but the same behavior continues. I would appreciate any insights into why this might be happening or how to properly handle reading messages from the OCI stream. Are there specific configurations or best practices I should be following to avoid this behavior? What am I doing wrong?
