First offset of a topic doesn't match the actual offset of the first non deleted message

[jpmsk]

Hi, I opened an issue regarding this
#12549

rpk topic describe

rpk topic consume

Basically, I tried consuming as a new consumer group from a topic which had deleted messages (offset > 0). The consumer would get stuck at reading from the topic.
I also tried using segmentio with the following configurations :

• Setting the start offset to StartOffset: kafka.FirstOffset with the value of -2 , stuck at ReadMessage
• Setting the read offset to 131658 using SetOffset , stuck at ReadMessage
• Setting the read offset to 131701 using SetOffset , was able to read the message from the topic

I used rpk topic describe <topic_name> -p to get the first offset and tried rpk consume topic using the given offset but still nothing. rpk topic describe returns LOG-START-OFFSET with the value 131658 , consuming from that offset doesn't return anything, I had to go to offset 131701 to be able to start consuming the messages from that topic.

I'm using v23.1.9 (rev ad7b596)

Tried different clients (kafka-ui, franz-go, segmentio, rpk consume) with no luck. Am I missing something related to the topic or broker configuration?

Thanks in advance
