+By default, there is no subscription during a DLQ topic creation. Without a just-in-time subscription to the DLQ topic, you may lose messages. To automatically create an initial subscription for the DLQ, you can specify the `initialSubscriptionName` parameter.
+
+```java
+Consumer<byte[]> consumer = pulsarClient.newConsumer(Schema.BYTES)
+                .topic(topic)
+                .subscriptionName("my-subscription")
+                .subscriptionType(SubscriptionType.Shared)
+                .deadLetterPolicy(DeadLetterPolicy.builder()
+                      .maxRedeliverCount(maxRedeliveryCount)
+                      .deadLetterTopic("your-topic-name")
+                      .initialSubscriptionName("init-sub")
+                      .build())

 Dead letter topic depends on message redelivery. Messages are redelivered either due to [acknowledgement timeout](#acknowledgement-timeout) or [negative acknowledgement](#negative-acknowledgement). If you are going to use negative acknowledgement on a message, make sure it is negatively acknowledged before the acknowledgement timeout.
