Cache memory causing duplicates in Fabric notebook
Hello, I'm encountering an issue with a merge operation in a notebook, where I'm accessing tables from a lakehouse. The merge command fails with a duplicate error. However, when I query the table us...

Hi Sethulakshmi ,
Thanks for reaching out to us with your problem. The discrepancy between the manual testing and the pipeline-triggered execution could be due to a variety of factors.
- Environment Differences: There might be differences between the environment in which you’re manually testing the notebook and the environment in which the pipeline runs. These differences could be in terms of software versions, configurations, or data states.
- Data Timing Issues: If your data is being updated frequently, it’s possible that duplicates are introduced between the time you manually check for duplicates and the time the pipeline runs.
- Caching Mechanism: As you suspected, the issue might be related to caching. However, it’s important to note that the caching mechanism is orchestrated and upheld by the Microsoft Fabric itself, and it doesn’t offer users the capability to manually clear the cache.

To address this issue, you could try the following:
- Debugging: Add logging statements in your notebook to capture the state of your data at various points in your pipeline. This could help you identify where and when the duplicates are introduced.
- Data Snapshot: Create a snapshot of your data before running the merge operation. This could help you identify if the duplicates are present in the data at the time of the merge operation.
- Environment Consistency: Ensure that the environment in which you’re manually testing the notebook is identical to the environment in which the pipeline runs.
Best Regards

Thanks for the reply,
Regarding the environment consistency, i assume when we trigger a notebook from pipeline there is no option to choose environment, so how can i check the consistency? Please suggest if there is an option.
