I am getting an error when i try to use logstash ang Google pub/sub input plugin. Its not clear based on the exception/error how I can fix it. Can you please help.

gcp-pubsub-logstash.conf

# The # character at the beginning of a line indicates a comment. Use
# comments to describe your configuration.
input {
    google_pubsub {
        project_id => "pinkesh-autocomplete-202716"
        topic => "product-ingestion-topic"
        subscription => "mysubs"
        json_key_file => "/home/pinkesh_valdria/gce_default_service_account.json"
    }
}
output { stdout { codec => rubydebug } }

Command I am running:

sudo logstash -f gcp-pubsub-logstash.conf --debug

Exception is on last line, it first days "pulling messages from subs" and then follow it by "closing". (the first few lines below).

I am using it on GCE instance. The Topic was manually created and currently it has messages (json format) and also the subscription (mysubs) was also manually created in Google cloud console, before running the above command.

@pvaldria There's an open issue for this right now you can follow here: #34 more details are in a PR #36

If you can, I think reverting to Logstash 6.2.3 should fix the issue for now until we figure out a more permanent solution.

downgrading to 6.2.3 fixes the issue - as a workaround.
