Hi Naveen, I think cancelling a job is not the right approach for testing our exactly-once guarantees. By cancelling a job, you are discarding the state of your job. Restarting from scratch (without using a savepoint) will cause duplicates. What you can do to validate the behavior is randomly killing a task manager running your job. Then, the job should restart on the remaining machines (make sure that enough slots are available even after the failure) and you shouldn't have any duplicates in HDFS.
