Description
Pulsar component is missing some important features:
- support for Token/OAuth2 Authentication, currently none. I suggest adding the following:
pulsar:
auth:
oauth2:
audience: "urn:sn:pulsar:x:y"
issuer_url: "https://auth.xyz"
private_key_file: /this/folder/key.json
token:
token: <base64-token-here>
- configurable subscription type, currently hardcoded to Shared. My proposal is to add
subscription_typeoption:
pulsar:
subscription_type: <type-here> # one of: shared, key_shared, exclusive, failover
- message attributes, such as
id,publishTime,redeliveryCount, etc. (see Message interface)
Contributor guide

- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.

- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start with internal/impl/pulsar/input.go, especially the linked authentication and subscription handling, then compare the Apache Pulsar Message interface for available attributes. The work is complete when token/OAuth2 authentication, configurable subscription types, and requested message attributes are supported by the Pulsar component.
