Thanks for your helpful response, Setting the consumer's 'isolation.level' property to 'read_committed' solved the problem! In fact, still there is some duplicated messages in the sink topic but they are uncommitted and if a kafka consumer reads the messages from this sink, the duplicated messages have not been read so everything is OK.

Does the problem happens always?

The version of flink is 1.6.2 and the kafka version is 011. I pass the Semantic.EXACTLY_ONCE parameter to the producer. The problem is that when I cancel the job with savepoint and then restart it using the saved savepoint, I have duplicated messages in the sink. Do I miss some kafka/flink configurations to avoid duplication? Kind regards, Nastaran Motavalli
