You cannot make a stream with subjects “>”

that will ingest into it many unrelated messages, including as is happening here the API requests.

What you are seeing is the ACk that the API request was stored before the API response

you need to make streams with only just what you need.

@ripienaar I understand that the use of > as a subject filter would create a stream that would ingest all messages. That was actually the intention.

If this should be considered an illegal operation the server should have rejected the command. The fact remains that under these circumstances a user can render the jetstream subcommands inoperable by running this command nats stream add BUG --subjects=">".

Would you please consider reopening this?

[ripienaar]

Will add a check. But successfully checking for any subject that can cause trouble is simply not possible as to a large extend it depends on your environment.

@ripienaar thank you!
This was a really awesome turn around time.
