Hi JissMatew,

As long as your checkpointLocation is not deleted and does not change, you should receive an incremental feed when loading data. Please verify that the checkpoint is not being deleted or moved between runs. The checkpoint is how the stream keeps track of its progress.

If you're still noticing this, please give more details about the duplicate unstructured data that you are ingesting.
