Hi Jonathan,

Just a quick update: I have not been able to reproduce the duplicates issue
with the 2.2 RC, even with a topology very similar to the one you included
in your stackoverflow post.

I think we should treat this as a new bug. Would you mind opening a new
Jira bug ticket with some steps to reproduce the problem, and also exactly
the behavior you observe?

Thanks,
-John
