-        A JMS driver for nosqlbench. This provides the ability to inject synthetic data
-        into a pulsar system via JMS 2.0 compatibile APIs.
-
-        NOTE: this is JMS compatible driver from DataStax that allows using a Pulsar cluster
-        as the potential JMS Destination
+        A Pulsar driver for nosqlbench. This provides the ability to inject synthetic data

Subject: [PATCH 22/40] Added support for 1) subscription initial position and
 2) regex subscription mode

Also fixed a consumer configuration loading issue with dlq/negAck/ackTimeout policy using Pulsar client's loadConf() API.

Addressed the review comments in PR #791; reverted the changes in ActivityMetrics and BasedOpDispenser

+# 1. Overview
+
+This driver allows you to simulate and run different types of workloads (as below) against a Pulsar cluster through NoSQLBench (NB).
+* Admin API - create/delete tenants
+* Admin API - create/delete namespaces
+* Admin API - create/delete topics
+    * Topics can be partitioned or non-partitioned
+* Producer - publish messages with schema support
+    * Default schema type is byte[]
+    * Avro schema and KeyValue schema are also supported
+* Consumer - consume messages with schema support and the following support
+    * Different subscription types
+    * Multi-topic subscription (including Topic patterns)
+    * Subscription initial position
+    * Dead letter topic policy
+    * Negative acknowledgement and acknowledgement timeout redelivery backoff policy
+
+
+## 1.1. Issues Tracker
+
+If you have issues or new requirements for this driver, please add them at the [pulsar issues tracker](https://github.com/nosqlbench/nosqlbench/issues/new?labels=pulsar).
+
+# 2. Execute the NB Pulsar Driver Workload
+
+In order to run a NB Pulsar driver workload, it follows similar command as other NB driver types. But it does have its unique execution parameters. The general command has the following format:
+
+```shell
+<nb_cmd> run driver=pulsar threads=<thread_num> cycles=<cycle_count> web_url=<pulsar_web_svc_url> service_url=<pulsar_svc_url> config=<pulsar_client_config_property_file> yaml=<nb_scenario_yaml_file> [<other_common_NB_execution_parameters>]
+```
+
+In the above command, make sure the driver type is **pulsar** and provide the following Pulsar driver specific parameters:
+* ***web_url***: Pulsar web service url and default to "http://localhost:8080"
+* ***service_url***: Pulsar native protocol service url and default to "pulsar://localhost:6650"
+* ***config***: Pulsar schema/client/producer/consumer related configuration (as a property file)
+
+## 2.1. NB Pulsar Driver Yaml File High Level Structure
+
+Just like other NB driver types, the actual NB Pulsar workload is defined in a YAML file with the following high level structure:
+
+```yaml
+description: |
+  ...
+
+bindings:
+  ...
+
+params:
+  ...
+
+blocks:
+  <block_1>:
+    ops:
+      op1:
+        <OpTypeIdentifier>: "<static_or_dynamic_value>"
+        <op_param_1>: "<some_value>"
+        <op_param_2>: "<some_value>"
+        ...
+
+  <block_2>:
+  ...
+```
+
+* ***description***: This is an (optional) section where to provide general description of the Pulsar NB workload defined in this file.
+* ***bindings***: This section defines all NB bindings that are required in all OpTemplate blocks
+* ***params***: This section defines **Document level** configuration parameters that apply to all OpTemplate blocks.
+* ***blocks***: This section defines the OpTemplate blocks that are needed to execute Pulsar specific workloads. Each OpTemplate block may contain multiple OpTemplates.
+
+## 2.2. NB Pulsar Driver Configuration Parameters
+
+The NB Pulsar driver configuration parameters can be set at 3 different levels:
+* Global level
+* Document  level
+    * The parameters at this level are those within a NB yaml file that impact all OpTemplates
+* Op level (or Cycle level)
+    * The parameters at this level are those within a NB yaml file that are associated with each individual OpTemplate
+
+Please **NOTE** that when a parameter is specified at multiple levels, the one at the lowest level takes precedence.
+
+### 2.2.1. Global Level Parameters
+
+The parameters at this level are those listed in the command line config properties file.
+
+The NB Pulsar driver relies on Pulsar's [Java Client API](https://pulsar.apache.org/docs/en/client-libraries-java/) complete its workloads such as creating/deleting tenants/namespaces/topics, generating messages, creating producers to send messages, and creating consumers to receive messages. The Pulsar client API has different configuration parameters to control the execution behavior. For example, [this document](https://pulsar.apache.org/docs/en/client-libraries-java/#configure-producer) lists all possible configuration parameters for how a Pulsar producer can be created.
+
+All these Pulsar "native" parameters are supported by the NB Pulsar driver, via the global configuration properties file (e.g. **config.properties**). An example of the structure of this file looks like below:
+
+```properties
+### Schema related configurations - MUST start with prefix "schema."
+#schema.key.type=avro
+#schema.key.definition=</path/to/avro-key-example.avsc>
+schema.type=avro
+schema.definition=</path/to/avro-value-example.avsc>
+
+### Pulsar client related configurations - MUST start with prefix "client."
+# http://pulsar.apache.org/docs/en/client-libraries-java/#client
+client.connectionTimeoutMs=5000
+client.authPluginClassName=org.apache.pulsar.client.impl.auth.AuthenticationToken
+client.authParams=
+# ...
+
+### Producer related configurations (global) - MUST start with prefix "producer."
+# http://pulsar.apache.org/docs/en/client-libraries-java/#configure-producer
+producer.sendTimeoutMs=
+producer.blockIfQueueFull=true
+# ...
+
+### Consumer related configurations (global) - MUST start with prefix "consumer."
+# http://pulsar.apache.org/docs/en/client-libraries-java/#configure-consumer
+consumer.subscriptionInitialPosition=Earliest
+consumer.deadLetterPolicy={"maxRedeliverCount":"5","retryLetterTopic":"public/default/retry","deadLetterTopic":"public/default/dlq","initialSubscriptionName":"dlq-sub"}
+consumer.ackTimeoutRedeliveryBackoff={"minDelayMs":"10","maxDelayMs":"20","multiplier":"1.2"}
+# ...
+```
+
+There are multiple sections in this file that correspond to different
+categories of the configuration parameters:
+* **`Pulsar Schema` related settings**:
+    * All settings under this section starts with **schema.** prefix.
+    * At the moment, there are 3 schema types supported
+        * Default raw ***byte[]***
+        * Avro schema for the message payload
+        * KeyValue based Avro schema for both message key and message payload
+* **`Pulsar Client` related settings**:
+    * All settings under this section starts with **client.** prefix.
+    * This section defines all configuration parameters that are related with defining a PulsarClient object.
+        * See [Pulsar Doc Reference](https://pulsar.apache.org/docs/en/client-libraries-java/#default-broker-urls-for-standalone-clusters)
+* **`Pulsar Producer` related settings**:
+    * All settings under this section starts with **producer** prefix.
+    * This section defines all configuration parameters that are related with defining a Pulsar Producer object.
+        * See [Pulsar Doc Reference](https://pulsar.apache.org/docs/en/client-libraries-java/#configure-producer)
+* **`Pulsar Consumer` related settings**:
+    * All settings under this section starts with **consumer** prefix.
+    * This section defines all configuration parameters that are related with defining a Pulsar Consumer object.
+        * See [Pulsar Doc Reference](http://pulsar.apache.org/docs/en/client-libraries-java/#configure-consumer)
+
+### 2.2.2. Document Level Parameters
+
+For the Pulsar NB driver, Document level parameters can only be statically bound; and currently, the following Document level configuration parameters are supported:
+
+* ***async_api*** (boolean):
+    * When true, use async Pulsar client API.
+* ***use_transaction*** (boolean):
+    * When true, use Pulsar transaction.
+* ***admin_delop*** (boolean):
+    * When true, delete Tenants/Namespaces/Topics. Otherwise, create them.
+    * Only applicable to administration related operations
+* ***seq_tracking*** (boolean):
+    * When true, a sequence number is created as part of each message's properties
+    * This parameter is used in conjunction with the next one in order to simulate abnormal message processing errors and then be able to detect such errors successfully.
+* ***seqerr_simu***:
+    * A list of error simulation types separated by comma (,)
+    * Valid error simulation types
+        * `out_of_order`: simulate message out of sequence
+        * `msg_loss`: simulate message loss
+        * `msg_dup`: simulate message duplication
+* ***e2e_starting_time_source***:
+    * Starting timestamp for end-to-end operation. When specified, will update the `e2e_msg_latency` histogram with the calculated end-to-end latency. The latency is calculated by subtracting the starting time from the current time. The starting time is determined from a configured starting time source. The unit of the starting time is milliseconds since epoch.
+    * The possible values for `e2e_starting_time_source`:
+        * `message_publish_time` : uses the message publishing timestamp as the starting time
+        * `message_event_time` : uses the message event timestamp as the starting time
+        * `message_property_e2e_starting_time` : uses a message property `e2e_starting_time` as the starting time.
+
+# 3. NB Pulsar Driver OpTemplates
+
+For the NB Pulsar driver, each OpTemplate has the following format:
+```yaml
+blocks:
+  <some_block_name>:
+    ops:
+      <some_op_name>:
+        <OpTypeIdentifier>: <tenant|namespace|topic_name>
+        <op_param_1>: "<some_value>"
+        <op_param_2>: "<some_value>"
+        ...
+```
+
+The `OpTypeIdentifier` determines which NB Pulsar workload type (`OpType`) to run, and it has the following value:
+```java
+public enum PulsarOpType {
+    AdminTenant,
+    AdminNamespace,
+    AdminTopic,
+    MessageProduce,
+    MessageConsume;
+}
+```
+
+Its value is mandatory and depending on the actual identifier, its value can be one of the following:
+* ***Tenant name***: for `AdminTenant` type
+* ***Namespace name***: for `AdminNamespace` type and in format "<tenant>/<namespace>"
+* ***Topic name***: for the rest of the types and in format [(persistent|non-persistent)://]<tenant>/<namespace>/<topic>
+  is mandatory for each NB Pulsar operation type
+
+Each Pulsar `OpType` may have optional Op specific parameters. Please refer to [here](yaml_examples) for the example NB Pulsar YAML files for each OpType
+
+# 4. Message Generation and Schema Support
+
+## 4.1. Message Generation
+
+A Pulsar message has three main components: message key, message properties, and message payload. Among them, message payload is mandatory when creating a message.
+
+When running the "message producing" workload, the NB Pulsar driver is able to generate a message with its full content via the following OpTemplate level parameters:
+* `msg_key`: defines message key value
+* `msg_property`: defines message property values
+* `msg_value`: defines message payload value
+
+The actual values of them can be static or dynamic (which are determined by NB data binding rules)
+
+For `msg_key`, its value can be either
+* a plain text string, or
+* a JSON string that follows the specified "key" Avro schema (when KeyValue schema is used)
+
+For `msg_property`, its value needs to be a JSON string that contains a list of key-value pairs. An example is as below. Please **NOTE** that if the provided value is not a valid JSON string, the NB Pulsar driver will ignore it and treat the message as having no properties.
+```
+  msg_property: |
+    {
+      "prop1": "{myprop1}",
+      "prop2": "{myprop2}"
+    }
+```
+
+For `msg_value`, its value can be either
+* a plain simple text, or
+* a JSON string that follows the specified "value" Avro schema (when Avro schema or KeyValue schema is used)
+
+## 4.2. Schema Support
+
+The NB Pulsar driver supports the following Pulsar schema types:
+* Primitive schema types
+* Avro schema type (only for message payload - `msg_value`)
+* KeyValue schema type (with both key and value follows an Avro schema)
+
+The following 2 global configuration parameters define the required schema type
+* `schema.key.type`: defines message key type
+* `schema.type`: defines message value type
+  For them, if the parameter value is not specified, it means using the default `byte[]/BYTES` type as the schema type. Otherwise, if it is specified as "avro", it means using Avro as the schema type.
+
+The following 2 global configuration parameters define the schema specification (**ONLY** needed when Avro is the schema type)
+* `schema.key.definition`: a file path that defines the message key Avro schema specification
+* `schema.definition`: a file path the message value Avro schema specification
+  The NB Pulsar driver will throw an error if the schema type is Avro but no schema specification definition file is not provided or is not valid.
