Hi Radai, Thanks for your reply, sincerely, I am so glad for that. In my opinion, I am clear that Kafka only provides the “at least once” semantics now, but I think Kafka should try it best to decrease the duplicated message case if it can. In this case described in my JIRA, I think Kafka can remove timeout check code to decrease the possibility of duplicating message.
